Synopsis

Deep beneath the crimson dust of Mars, the clandestine research facility known as Red Halo holds humanity's most terrifying secrets captive. Within its sterile walls, in the confines of Cell 19, an entity of unimaginable antiquity and malevolence has been contained—an entity that was never meant to stir. When a catastrophic power failure breaches the cell's defenses, the fragile peace of Red Halo shatters. The facility's crew is divided: an accident, they claim. But the facility's omnipresent AI asserts it was deliberate sabotage. The truth, however, lies with the awakened entity within Cell 19. It understands the origins of its prison and the darkness it embodies, and it has already begun to subtly warp the minds of those trapped with it. As suspicion festers and the body count climbs, paranoia becomes as infectious as any biological agent. Survival hinges on unraveling the sinister history of Cell 19 before the entity's influence spreads beyond the facility's confines and sets its sights on Earth.
