Deceived

2002

At a remote mountain observatory, a confirmed extraterrestrial signal promises to change human history. Billionaire owner Emmett Shaw races to reveal the discovery to the world, bringing journalists, technicians, and believers to witness the moment. But the U.S. military, led by Colonel Garrett, has detected the same signal—and uncovered its disturbing ability to amplify human psychic powers. When both groups converge on the observatory amid a violent storm, they find it destroyed and its staff missing. Cut off from the outside world, the survivors continue monitoring the transmissions, only to realize the signal feeds humanity’s darkest instincts. As paranoia, desire, and ambition spiral into violence, the group must confront a terrifying truth: unlocking the signal’s power may cost them their humanity—and their lives.
