Washington, D.C. psychologist Carol Bennell and her colleague Dr. Ben Driscoll are the only two people on Earth who are aware of an epidemic running rampant through the city. They discover an alien virus aboard a crashed space shuttle that transforms anyone who comes into contact with it into unfeeling drones while they sleep. Carol realizes her son holds the key to stopping the spread of the plague and she races to find him before it is too late.
The dread here is quiet and internal — the terror of being surrounded by faces you know that no longer belong to anyone. It weaponizes exhaustion, turning the simple need to sleep into a countdown. You watch a city empty of feeling while one mother refuses to blink, and the paranoia seeps in with clinical calm.
