In a world unraveling from within, survival isn't just a choice—it’s a war cry. After a deep-sea drilling operation awakens a monstrous, ancient species known as the Anglers, humanity is driven into darkness. These black-skinned, razor-limbed predators stalk the ruins of civilization, silent and coordinated, born not of nature—but of something deeper. Amid the collapse, two lifelong friends—Stan and Andy—fight to survive. Joined by Alice, Susie, and her younger brother Brandon, the group navigates a ravaged world in search of safety, meaning, and redemption. But safety is a lie, and every choice is a scar. As secrets unravel—including Stan’s supernatural gift known as Resonance—the group discovers that the Anglers are more than beasts. They are part of something bigger. A purpose. A design. A buried warning. When Brandon is lost, and the Queen emerges, Susie’s own Resonance awakens with terrifying clarity. Their final stand inside an abandoned lab reveals the truth of where it all began—and forces them to become more than survivors. They are a chosen family. Broken. Flawed. Still standing. This is not the end. It’s the beginning.
