Read details below:
“As an alien attack rampages the city, Garrett accepts that his time has finally come. It’s the end of life as he knows it… as a single man, that is. Blinded by love, Garrett is blissfully unaware of his apocalyptic surroundings as he strolls through the mania to pop the question to his girlfriend, Claire. Meanwhile, Garrett’s best friend, Morris, races through the city to save them both.
As the alien onslaught rages around him, Garrett falls into despair over his botched proposal to Claire and begins to suspect the worst about his best friend, Morris. Meanwhile, Claire faces off the alien threat that has engulfed her entire neighborhood and Morris must escape his parking garage as he embarks on a quest across town to save Garrett.
With the city under alien attack, Claire and Morris must team up to save Garrett. But first, they’ll have to stock up on weaponry if they’re to have any chance at success. Meanwhile, Garrett unknowingly ventures deeper into alien-occupied territory, every step bringing him closer to a rooftop encounter that may decide the fate of humanity.”
