Deceived

At a remote mountain observatory, a confirmed extraterrestrial signal is poised to change human history. Billionaire owner Emmett Shaw is eager to announce the discovery to the world, assembling journalists, technicians, and believers to witness the event. Meanwhile, the U.S. military, led by Colonel Garrett, has also detected the signal and discovered its unsettling ability to amplify human psychic powers. As both groups arrive at the observatory during a violent storm, they find it destroyed and its staff missing. Stranded and cut off from the outside world, the survivors continue monitoring the transmissions, eventually realizing the signal intensifies humanity’s darkest instincts. As paranoia, desire, and ambition escalate into violence, the group faces a chilling realization: harnessing the signal’s power may cost them their humanity—and their lives.
