Released October 29th in the US.
Filmed entirely in New York.
The story: Among the hustle and bustle in the big city of New York, a window washer who happens to annoy the woman on the other side of the window, is suddenly swept up and detached from his head...
No one saw what happened to the window washer.

Some think its possible something fell on him from above.
The next day in another part of town, a cleaning lady finds a tenant in bed, skinless. 
She contacts the police.
But the police still have no clue what is going on.
Later that day, a small-time crook is robbing a bank but when the crime goes a rye , he is forced to run into a building to hide.
Up top the building he sees a very large nest with a very large egg inside of it.
He has no idea what he is looking at or if it's even real.
The crook tells no one what he saw at first, but after more serious crimes occur the crook ends up telling the police. 

Although at first, they do not believe him.
One of the policemen who is hot on the case has been studying the crimes.
He is the one who convinces everyone to believe that the crook is telling the truth as unbelievable as it is.
He helps to stop any more crimes from happening and rids the city of its fear.
