Overview
As the twelfth expedition team of the secret organization Southern Reach, four female scientists are sent to an area known as Area X. Since an unknown event shook the area 30 years ago, nature has overgrown the last remnants of human civilization. But their mission is not an easy one: the group is not only tasked with exploring the area and its flora and fauna, but also with uncovering the causes of the mysterious disaster. The members of the previous eleven research teams either died of cancer, committed suicide or disappeared without a trace.
