John Carpenter’s Tales of Science Fiction is the definitive collection of stories at the crossroads of horror and sci-fi. Follow us into a dark future, from post-apocalyptic earth, into space and beyond. Each mini series explores the universal fears of the unknown, alien life, interstellar travel, and the age old question, can anyone can hear you scream in space. The answer is no.
Space Station Benson sits in the Veil Nebula, supporting a series of mining asteroids. A team has gone suddenly silent after triggering a distress beacon. The commander deploys a rescue mission lead by Jake Dixon - a man with reputations as both a hero and a murderer after a previous rescue mission lost a ship, but saved the station. What Jake finds on the asteroid will threaten even Earth itself.
