Plot: We find ourselves in an apocalyptic future in which a group of people (6 women and a man) who survived an alien attack live in a small village in a Virginia forest.

The group is formed by Barbara (Hayley Atwell), the group leader, Hannah, Barbara's sister (Shannon Woodward), the shy and young Laura (Skyler Samuels), Amy, a girl tormented by nightmares (Evan Rachel Wood), Aisha a former teacher (Tessa Thompson), Allison (Rose Leslie) a bad girl who in the past had drug problems and Dr. Markus Lambert (Michael Sheen), a man now tired of the difficult situation in which the group is. The aliens had arrived suddenly a few years earlier and soon had destroyed the various armies of the nations and had initially killed without a real goal and then started to kill mainly the male inhabitants.

During the morning Aisha finds a note from Lambert that says he was sick and could not take it anymore and would leave forever. Barbara, Hannah and Laura decide to take a short reconnaissance tour to find Lambert and some food but they do not find anything. During the return they are victims of a trap in which Laura is seriously injured. They manage to take her to the camp but die from her injuries.

Then there was a discussion between Barbara and Hannah because one tries to convince the other survivors to change place while the other wants to stay there. Amy remembers that in the dream of the previous night there was fire and just at that moment during the fight 'is a fire and the alien creatures being attracted by fire attack girls and Aisha to save Allison, surrounded sacrifices and is devoured while Hannah is taken and carried into the forest.

Barbara, Amy and Allison escape into the forest for many hours and find a creature and follow it finding a spaceship, at that moment the creature roars and Allison is hit by surprise behind and falls to the ground in a pool of blood. At this point there is a battle between the two girls, armed only with daggers and the three creatures.
The two survivors defeat the creatures thanks to Amy who already seemed to know where to hit the creatures to kill them.

At this point the girls seem to want to leave from there but eventually enter the spaceship, find various rooms and watch various scary scenes as experiments with human bodies. Then they arrive in an area of the ship where they find a creature larger than the others and are producing many green eggs.

The eggs begin to hatch and a myriad of small creatures attack the girls, Barbara is reached and submerged by small creatures .... while Amy screams ...

The survivor Amy opens her eyes and finds herself tied to a bed in a large room with white walls, the one she sees in her dreams, and with various screens and machines and in the same room she also sees the other girls still asleep.

At that moment Dr. Lambert enters and greets the girl, visibly frightened and confused, and compliments her, telling her that he has won ... He turns on a board displaying the names of the girls and their victories (AMY 170, BARBARA 165, ALLISON 127 ....). The doctor explains that there was no alien attack but that they are victims of experiments to see how they would involve human beings in cases of various apocalypses. Meanwhile, the other girls also woke up. Meanwhile, other people in doctor's clothes also enter, puncturing the 6 girls and throwing a small hitch on the girls.

The screens turn on and you see a desolate area with strange beings and the doctor says, laughing "How would you cope with it during a zombie attack?"

Finally we see Amy who suddenly wakes up without remembering anything (except having dreamed of a white room) and Allison looking out the window, the camera rises and you see a farm besieged by the zombies.
