Confused and afraid, countries around the world wage wars against them. Overwhelmed with anger and revenge, the alien race occupies Earth and enslaves humanity, disguising themselves as human beings and perform- ing experiments on violators, rebel groups and non-conformists. A large wall is built around cities, which have accepted the status quo. JAMIE, a member of one of the rebel groups, crosses the wall in an attempt to gather intelligence. The aliens capture and interrogate him with one of their disguised clones, MEI, who uses her new experiment on Jamie, causing him to hallucinate his worst fears. Mei suggests they play a trust game, whereby each of them describes the physical faults in the other person. Jamie refuses to be subjected to her intimidation tactics. While injecting him with the serum, Mei is accidentally bitten by Jamie. As Jamie awakens from the experiment, he agrees to play the trust game, having experienced horrific hallucinations. This satisfies Mei, who then questions his motives behind the wall. He agrees to confess if Mei can describe the pain she feels from the bite. Angered by his arrogance, Mei attacks Jamie, who injects her with the same syringe she used on him prior. She experiences being a human and falling in love with Jamie, two of the worst fears of hers. Mei collapses to the floor, allowing Jamie the chance to escape. As he makes a run for it, magnetic rings attached to his arms and legs, pull him back and entrap him against a large magnet. Mei remains paralyzed but warns Jamie of the impending consequences he will endure, once the effect of the serum wears off. Written by Omar Moujaes See less
