When freighter captain Kane accepts a secret Skyvault cargo contract to
save his debt-stricken ship Starlight, he unknowingly takes aboard a
sentient particle life-form codenamed the Silent Entity. The ship’s AI
Nova is hijacked by Skyvault, trapping the crew in a deep-space live
experiment where hallucinations and mysterious deaths unfold. Kane forms
an uneasy alliance with federal agent Ayla and disgraced scientist Elias
to uncover the corporate conspiracy, fight the evolving creature, and
confront their own guilty pasts. They ultimately sacrifice the ship to
leak the truth to the Federation, with Kane’s final fate left lost in
the silent void.
