The synopsis also revealed that Max's oldest daughter, Greta, is suffering from the fatal disease and he'll be out to stop her from succumbing to its symptoms.

“As her body weakens, an alien Sentinel lurks outside their home, drawing nearer and nearer as Greta takes her final breaths. This silent, unyielding predator is on a mission to collect her body to fulfill an unstoppable metamorphosis ritual. The government sanctions it. Society accepts it. But Max refuses to have anything else taken from him.”

No other details for 'Dreadnought' have been revealed at this time.
