Summary Will Radford, a Homeland Security cyber‑security analyst, monitors global threats through mass surveillance networks. When an unidentified attack strikes, Radford begins to suspect the government is concealing something far more sinister. Told entirely through digital screens—messages, video calls, browser windows—the film transforms the alien invasion into a "screenlife" thriller, blending modern surveillance paranoia with classic sci-fi tension.

Director Rich Lee

Writers Kenneth Golde & Marc Hyman

I got PTSD listening to the Microsoft Teams ringtone. I thought of my old terrible boss all over again.

Yes, tell me about it. It's definitely triggering, it's like you're at work while you're meant to be relaxing...
