Spoilers ahead
Two mysterious white circles glide across a solid black screen, accompanied by a calm female voice explaining their mission: to inhabit human bodies in order to carry out their plan.
On a quiet beach near Cape Canaveral, a man and a woman head toward the future, unaware that the circles are watching. The circles descend, and the car they’re in crashes. Both people die—or so it seems—until the body’s consciousness is taken over by the alien visitors. The male alien, Hauron, and the female alien, Nadja, reanimate the pair, turning a tragedy into a strange, new life. Nadja retrieves Hauron’s severed arm, which she promises to reattach at their hidden laboratory—an artificial cave that serves as their headquarters and breeding ground for their experiments.
