A creature tears through a prison mining colony and nobody knows what it wants, what it came from, or if command is telling the truth about any of it. The pacing doesn't waste time on exposition, it trusts you to piece together a corrupt system, alien horror, and a robot that becomes the only character worth saving in the same eight episodes. The CGI looks like it was rendered on different planets, frame to frame, but that jank becomes part of what makes this feel real instead of polished, guards in over their heads, budget cuts visible in every shot, survival happening in the cracks.
On the frozen, snowbound planet Coldfoot, miners dig up Sig, an ore rich in energy. From the outside the planet looks like a peaceful place without crime, but the truth is harsher: prisoners are forced into grueling labor in the Sig mines. When a mining accident strikes without warning, Jim, a young prison guard, hurries to the scene and finds a mysterious creature attacking people. Strange beings are emerging from the darkness underground, and the planet's inhabitants must find a way to survive them. A horror thriller with a science fiction setting, told over eight episodes.
