Plot

For two years, a deep space mining vessel has been drifting off Saturn’s moon, Titan. The crew may have killed each other but their fate is unknown. In an attempt to investigate, a rescue vessel with a crew of genetically modified advanced humans is sent on the deep space explorer “Teleios” to discover if there are any survivors and to find out what happened. Little do they realise that what they are about to discover may threaten to destroy themselves and the whole of humanity.

Response

The Austin Chronicle said, "Truitner's story of social strata, and the terrifying potential of gene tampering, has found a new timeliness.".[8] First Comics News gave it 4 out of 5 stars, saying "For the start, the show is low key. Things do really start getting interesting as the show takes some unexpected twists and turns."[4] Film Threat gave the film a 6 out of 10, stating "Visually, the movie rocks. This is an indie effort worthy of note that fails to tick a few boxes, but still deserves perhaps a “B” for effort."[9]
