Spoilers ahead
In a 1970s-era council block in Weston, Southampton, the film unfolds in the present-day United Kingdom. Mark, an artist, wakes to a chilling confinement: his flat is sealed off with no electricity, no running water, and no way to reach the outside world. The only signal of life beyond the walls is a steady intercom voice repeating, “Please remain calm, the situation is under control.” Outside, eerie figures in Hazmat suits patrol the grounds and a military tent is set up, casting a clinical shadow over the once-familiar buildings.
“Please remain calm, the situation is under control.”
