It's not human. Yet.

When paleontologist Kate Lloyd travels to an isolated outpost in Antarctica for the expedition of a lifetime, she joins an international team that unearths a remarkable discovery. Their elation quickly turns to fear as they realize that their experiment has freed a mysterious being from its frozen prison. Paranoia spreads like an epidemic as a creature that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish in this spine-tingling thriller.

An arctic outpost becomes a chilling crucible of paranoia and grotesque body horror. The relentless dread builds as an insidious, shapeshifting threat erodes trust, creating a truly visceral and claustrophobic experience. It's a relentless descent into icy, alien terror, where survival hinges on who you can believe.
