Overview
Maelstrom is the senior project for the students of the Television and Film Arts program at Buffalo State College. Each year the class is tasked with creating a thirty-minute television pilot. This year's pilot follows a group of marines as they escort a scientist across the country in search of salvation from the eternal night.
Short Summary
There is no morning or day, no twilight or dawn. Only one bleak night. Maelstrom follows an ensemble of refugees, scientists, and marines as the world falls to ruin. Sundowners, the light-sensitive creatures who have made the earth their dominion, have created an unwavering darkness to cover the planet. What is left of humanity search for an end to the eternal night and the creatures who lurk in the shadows. But once evil is let in, can it ever be sent away?
