From deep space…

In San Francisco, a health inspector and his colleague uncover a terrifying alien invasion where humans are being replaced by identical, emotionless pod replicas. As the city slowly succumbs, they struggle to stay awake and evade detection while seeking a way to stop the spread. The sense of paranoia deepens as friends, lovers, and strangers become impossible to trust.
