Set in a post-apocalyptic world, what’s left of humanity shelters undersea in the hulks of sunken ships. Sullivan, a captain of a nuclear sub, makes contact with a splinter group of superior scientific intelligence who have the power to save the earth – one that could come at a terrible cost.

Valve’s tools and technologies, namely its Source engine, are being used for real-time rendering, editing, simplified character animation and economical lighting for the feature.
