Synopsis

Lowell Gant is a quality assurance technician working the late shift at a high-security aerospace optics laboratory. His job is to inspect the interior coating of the "Calibration Sphere," a massive, 50-foot chamber coated entirely in a proprietary carbon-nanotube material designed to absorb 99.99% of all visible light. Inside this sphere, without lights, there is zero depth perception-only a terrifying sensory void where the human mind hallucinates from the absolute darkness. The terror begins when the heavy, soundproof airlock door violently slams shut, and the main halogen lights are cut. Lowell is plunged into an abyss so dark he cannot see his own hand. Using the dying glow of his smartwatch, he makes a horrific discovery on the catwalk beneath him: the brutally murdered body of the lead scientist. Worse, Lowell realizes the killer is still locked inside the pitch-black sphere with him. And the killer is wearing advanced military-grade thermal goggles. Hunted in total darkness by a corporate saboteur who can see his every move, Lowell realizes the terrifying endgame: the killer is waiting for the facility's automated systems to initiate the "Solar Flash" calibration-a blinding burst of light meant to simulate the sun in deep space, which will bake Lowell alive. Unable to outrun his pursuer, Lowell must use his intimate knowledge of the fragile nanomaterial to his advantage. Crawling in the dark, he must carve a reflective trap into the ultra-black walls before the lethal flash triggers, turning a lightless tomb into a brilliant and deadly weapon.
