Plot

For the past two years, a mining vessel designed for deep space exploration has been adrift near Titan, one of Saturn's moons. The fate of the crew remains a mystery, as they may have met a tragic end at each other's hands. To uncover the truth, a rescue ship named "Teleios" is dispatched, carrying a crew of genetically enhanced people. Their mission: to search for survivors and unravel the events that transpired. However, little do they know that the secrets awaiting them have the potential to not only jeopardize their own existence, but also threaten the very fabric of humanity.

Cast

Response

The Austin Chronicle said, "Truitner's story of social strata, and the terrifying potential of gene tampering, has found a new timeliness.".[12] First Comics News gave it 4 out of 5 stars, saying "For the start, the show is low key. Things do really start getting interesting as the show takes some unexpected twists and turns."[8] Film Threat gave the film a 6 out of 10, stating "Visually, the movie rocks. This is an indie effort worthy of note that fails to tick a few boxes, but still deserves perhaps a “B” for effort."[13]
