Taking things back billions of years before the events of the first film, Pitch Black Dawn picks up with the story of Alicia, the very first individual from the Brooks family to be targeted by The Dark One. Using nothing more than stone tools and primitive technology, she has to ensure the survival of her whole bloodline, fighting against a much younger and unexperienced, but frighteningly more savage and bloodthirsty VOID.

After getting ready for a comfortable night with his friend, Jason Brooks is tormented and hunted by an evil dark entity with malicious intentions.
