A programming schedule broadcast at midnight is interrupted by an Emergency Alert System message from the County Weather Service warning viewers of a meteorological event taking place, with the alert remaining in place until sunrise. It concludes the message by warning that citizens should not view the event with the naked eye. Normal programming resumes with the schedule being shown again, but the only program shown is ominously entitled 'Blood of the', being cut off by a more urgent EAS broadcast, this time upgraded to a civil danger warning, before it can be fully shown. As the broadcast states that viewers should not look at the night sky, and that further information will be made available, the station is hijacked, with the hijacker claiming that the meteorological event is safe and that the warning has been lifted. They then directly demand viewers to go outside.

A struggle to gain control over the station then appears to take place between the station's staff and the hijacker. While almost being completely obscured, the first party frantically attempts to issue warnings to the viewers to not look at the Moon, while the second attempts to cut off or modify these messages through the use of visual glitches. Local 58 briefly returns to normal programming for a few seconds before a final sequence of EAS messages air, in which it appears that the second party has been successful in gaining control of the station, altering the broadcast once more to present a set of cryptic messages detailing how they were brainwashed by what appears to be the Moon itself. After initiating a final message - "IF YOU ARE AFRAID, WE WILL LOOK TOGETHER" - the feed cuts to a live view of the Moon while distant sounds of people screaming are heard, before cutting to black
