TRAILER
POSTER
PLOT
Elaine (Scottie Thompson) and Jarrod (Eric
Balfour) have flown to Los Angeles for Jarrod's best friend Terry's
(Donald Faison) birthday party. They spend the night celebrating with his
girlfriend, Candice (Brittany Daniel), and his assistant, Denise (Crystal Reed).
During the party, one of Terry's employees, Ray (Neil
Hopkins), welcomes Jarrod to L.A., thinking he has moved there to
join Terry's company. During a private argument about whether or not
they should move to L.A., Elaine reveals that she is pregnant.
Early the next morning, bright blue lights descend from the sky.
Anyone looking at them is helplessly entranced. The light makes their
eyes turn milky white and inflames blood vessels, making them
prominently pronounced on the skin. Held captive by the light, humans
are immobilized and engulfed by the aliens. Ray suffers this fate, but
Jarrod is saved when Terry tackles him. Jarrod returns to normal shortly
thereafter. He and Terry then decide to investigate the light from the
roof of the highrise, where they see several alien ships descend over
the blue lights and vacuum up thousands of entranced humans. Locked out
on the roof, they are almost captured by flying aliens, but Elaine opens
the door from inside. She is temporarily mesmerized, but tackled and
saved by Jarrod.
Back in the apartment, Jarrod points out that the water seems to be
free of spacecraft. He argues that it would be a safer place than
Terry's condo. The group attempts to reach the marina by
car. They split into two groups: Terry and Denise in one and Candice,
Jarrod, and Elaine in the other. Before they begin to drive off, they
run across a couple, Colin (J. Paul Boehmer) and Jen (Tanya Newbould), also attempting
to flee the building. Terry's car is the first to leave, and it is
immediately stomped flat by a massive "tanker" alien. Denise is
presumably killed while Terry is captured. As the remaining survivors
flee back into the garage, they encounter another alien capturing Colin.
It corners the rest of the group, but it is knocked out when the
building's concierge, Oliver (David
Zayas), slams into it with an Escalade. Colin is still alive inside the alien, but, as
the group tries to free him, the alien wakes up, sucks out Colin's
brain, which glows blue, and inserts the organ into its head, replacing
the brain that was damaged by the collision. Colin's brain fully revives
the alien.
Jen is captured as the group retreats back into the building. The Air Force launches a drone attack on the spaceships,
nuking the biggest one. The bomb seems to destroy the ship, but it
slowly begins to repair itself. After sharing with Elaine how the
mesmerizing light made him feel powerful, and that he still feels
powerful, Jarrod becomes adamant that they must seek safety elsewhere
before it is too late. Oliver tries to restrain him, but Jarrod's eyes
turn milky and his veins start to show again, as they did when he was
exposed to the light. He demonstrates considerable strength, lifting
Oliver off the floor with one hand, and swears that nothing will stop
him from protecting his family. An Army helicopter lands on the roof, dropping off two
snipers with .50 caliber rifles. Jarrod
and Elaine go to the roof hoping to ride the next helicopter to safety.
Oliver and Candice continue to hide in Terry's penthouse. Candice is
absorbed and Oliver sacrifices himself in an attempt to blow up a
"Tanker" alien on the side of the building. By tag-teaming an alien,
Jarrod and Elaine resist its attempts at mesmerizing and absorbing them;
eventually they kill it. In spite of this temporary reprieve, Jarrod
and Elaine are trapped when the military is defeated by the aliens.
Resigning themselves to their fate, they both look into the blue light
of an alien ship and embrace as they are abducted.
A montage shows that cities like New York City, London, and Hong Kong
have all fallen prey to the invaders. Onboard the alien spacecraft,
tendrils are inserting human brains into alien husks, animating them.
Elaine helplessly watches as Jarrod's brain is removed from his body.
She is spared this fate when the alien sorter realizes that she is
pregnant. Elaine is then transported to another chamber. Meanwhile,
Jarrod's brain, which glows red instead of blue, is inserted into an
alien body. Instead of simply powering the alien body, Jarrod seems to
retain control and conscious. He leaps to the aid of Elaine and their
unborn child. The film ends with a series of still images between the
credits that depict "Jarrod" protecting Elaine and his child from the
other aliens.
