External forces plot to destroy mankind; they appear on
earth, inhabiting Mannequins. Becoming known as Figures, the mannequins start
appearing in every-day places including people’s homes, shopping areas and
museums. This external force is growing and the Figures take mankind off-guard.
Soon, they outnumber the human race, and people start to question what is
happening. Many of the population believe it’s a publicity stunt. When the
population of Figures is at its height, people are beginning to be killed. The
population is severely affected resulting in collapse of civilisation. The
story follows a group of teenagers who find each other when scavenging for food
in an abandoned neighbourhood. In desperation the group’s relationship grows
and they decide that the only way to survive is to stick together. As the
population narrows down the Figures are working harder to extinguish the human
race. A group of Figures locate the teenagers and hunt them down. The group are
pursued by the Figures, confined with nowhere to go they try to keep hidden. When
Alice, one of the teenagers, is caught off-guard and violently killed in the
kitchen of their hideout by a figure, the teenagers decide they have no other
option but to fight for their survival. When Emily finds Alice’s body, she goes
off to search the house for remaining Figures. As she enters the bathroom a
Figure is waiting for her. Just as the others run up to save her they go in to
watch their friend drown. The two evade the Figure and find themselves in a
basement with a strange electronic device. The figure breaks in and during a
struggle the two accidentally destroy the device. The Figure shuts down and the
two realise this is how to save humanity. In the final scene the Figure’s power
light flickers leading the audience to decide if the Figures have been truly
defeated or not.
