Deep in a subterranean complex, scientists have created a stable microscopic black hole to discover the truth – is it just a matter-sucking monster or a possibly gateway across the galaxy?

Scientists have created a stable, microscopic black hole in a secret underground compound, but when they lose control, the black hole spews out a cosmic maelstrom, strange dangerous creatures, and most surprisingly…a mysterious human teenage girl.

Now, a depressed but brilliant psychologist must help her estranged husband and the other scientists solve the mystery and close the black hole before it consumes all of Earth.
