I group of international astronauts is responsible for overseeing the ISS while reviewing fresh samples from Mars. During their experiments a primitive lifeform is discovered and foolishly reawakened. The crew's excitement is short lived as the organism, lovingly named Calvin, begins to rapidly grow and adapt before escaping the lab that contains it. Now fear takes center stage as the crew attempts to contain the specimen and ensure life on earth isn’t doomed by humanity's innate curiosity.
