Set in the year 2093, 'Nightflyers' follows a team of eight maverick scientists and a powerful telepath who embark on an expedition to the edge of our solar system aboard the Nightflyer—a ship with a reclusive captain and a dark history. They hope to make contact with alien life, but as the ship's systems begin to turn against them and terrifying, violent events start to occur, the crew realizes that the true horror isn't out in the vast emptiness of space, but right there inside the ship with them.
