Synopsis

Two women, thousands of miles apart. They hold the key to each other’s survival, but they don’t know it.

When a young woman with amnesia washes up on a desert island, a man who she finds deeply attractive comes to her rescue. Thomas calls her “Rose” and tells her their fellow scientists left this research post following the shocking news that aliens are approaching Earth.

That night they learn at least one alien has crash-landed on the island, and they are its intended prey.

Thousands of miles away, during an earlier time before the aliens were detected, Kailey serves time in prison for a murder that was committed by her toxic boyfriend during a botched robbery. She lives in terror of a corrupt prison guard who is obsessed with her.

As Rose explores ways they might escape their alien stalker, she discovers holes in Thomas’s story regarding his identity, and the fate of the other island residents. Losing trust in him, her terror mounts.

To punish Kailey after she resists his advances, the guard plants contraband in her cell, which lands her time in solitary. Alone in the world with no family or friends to turn to, she despairs of finding any means to defy him.

Full of mystery, resilience, and heart, Invader tells the story of two very different women put to the ultimate test. Only by reaching deep inside themselves to find their power and mysterious connection do they have any hope of surviving the trials to come.

Invaders come in many forms.
