After random objects falling from the sky result in the death of their father (Keith David), ranch-owning siblings OJ Haywood (Daniel Kaluuya) and his sister Emerald (Keke Palmer) attempt to capture video evidence of an unidentified flying object with the help of tech salesman Angel Torres (Brandon Perea) and documentarian Antlers Holst (Michael Wincott).
'Clock' is written & directed by Alexis Jacknow, and is her feature directorial debut!
