A cube of unknown origin is linked to a mass killing
on the Northern California coast.

Episode 1: "Shipwreck"
Synopsis

After a freighter wrecks on the California coast, first responders find a pearlescent container chained to its deck and the entire crew slaughtered. There's blood everywhere; splattered on the walls and pooled on the floors. Limbs are torn from mutilated bodies. When Homeland Security sends physicist Helen Davies to investigate the container, her team is given sketchy information by the FBI that indicates the crew believed their cargo valuable. But what killed them?

With her 8-month-old baby and a nanny in tow, Helen orders the container moved to Eugene, Oregon where her team can more carefully examine it. Having left her 15-year-old son Josh at their home base in Virginia, Helen struggles to balance family with unlocking the container’s secrets and tracking down whatever killed the crew. Meanwhile, on the southern Oregon coast, another massacre is reported. Helen heads for Port Orford and meets up with Sheriff Dan Reed, who shows her a major clue—tracks on a sand dune near the killing ground that suggest a tall, bipedal animal.

More killings in Coos Bay cause them to race up the coast where locals have trapped “something” in a cave on the beach. When they arrive, eerie howls echo from the cave as locals hatch a plan to blow up the sea monster they believe is inside. Helen offers a military capture instead, but their plan is already in motion and all the dynamite from town is set off at the cave’s mouth. The massive explosion seals the cave, forcing Helen to plan an excavation. But as a test hole is drilled to peer inside, there’s word that one of Reed’s deputies has fallen ill. He’s contracted an unknown virus from the mysterious creature and is fighting for his life.
