Life can be cruel sometimes, we don't know what's waiting for us in the future, we can't bring back time or forward time, our life is limited it wil not last long. Do you know the saying YOLO (You Only Live Once).
A girl named Lara Johnson who always have a not so perfect life. Always like partying, hanging out, shopping, you name it, she's just like the normal teenagers during this days.
But it will end not long enough, a mysterious creatures appear on the planet yes by mean planet The Earth, it was actually heading towards their city.
It all began when the NASA thought the the spaceship or we call it (UFO) was a meteor that going towards the planet, when it get closer and closer they did clarify that it wasn't a meteor but a ship a large ship.
We people are always curious. Where would our curiosity lead us?, Well if we're talking about our scientist, study that, study there, lots of studies, will they just leave it undiscovered?. Of course Not!
They actually identified the ship where it land, who was in there, but all the scientist that studied it disappeared, no trace, no evidence at all.
This is all where it started, maybe it could be worse, maybe zombies are real, or what about aliens, we don't know it yet but it will all be answered.
Curiosity lead us to unexpected things, no one's our friend, no one we can trust, people do whatever it need to survive, don't rely ourselves to other's to survive.

Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals.
Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect.
In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface.
