    Far in the future, a space-ship is hauling it's cargo load back to Earth when it intercepts a transmission of unknown origin from a nearby planet. After touching down, a extraterrestrial creature boards their ship. What ensues afterwards has been the stuff of nightmares for millions of viewers around the world, and the crew of the ship find out all too well that in space, no one can hear you scream.
