The crew of the Ambassador, a technologically advanced spacecraft, is on a critical mission. However, they encounter an enemy unlike anything they have ever faced before. This enemy possesses remarkable abilities and an inscrutable motive - to push the crew to their individual breaking points, playing on their psychological vulnerabilities.
