Hoping to launch a new website with some Russian investors, two software designers Sean and Ben (Emile Hirsch and Max Minghella) fly half-way across the planet only to find themselves undercut by a Swedish competitor (Joel Kinnaman).

They resolve to party their woes away that night in Moscow and find two American girls, Natalie and Anne (Olivia Thirlby and Rachael Taylor), to join them. These four wind up together when shimmering clouds of light gently fall from the sky and then disappear on the ground.

Crowds gather only to witness the lights reveal themselves as unseen creatures that kill everyone in sight, vaporizing them without mercy.
