The commander, Major General George Enderby, orders the crew to turn back and leave the planet but they are unable to do so. The ship's engines have been sabotaged and they are stranded on the planet.

As the days pass, the crew members become more and more isolated from each other. They begin to turn on each other and the paranoia builds.

The crew members become trapped in the program and are forced to relive their own worst memories. They are tormented by this virtual reality program until they are able to break free.

The crew must work together to escape the facility. They face a number of obstacles as they try to make their way back to their ship. They are followed by Dr. Halsey and her minions and must fight to survive. The crew is able to escape the facility and make it back to their ship, but not before sacrificing one of their own.
