On the surface, the film follows four South African Republican Intelligence Agents as they investigate an unidentified object that landed on a farm in the desolate Karoo landscape. They record this investigation with their Super 8 and 16mm cameras. What follows is a mystery that will keep you guessing until the very last line. Khoisan mythology drives the narrative of the film and unlike traditional found footage films there are no jump scares and gore.
