While partying with his best friend Terry (Donald Faison) in Terry's penthouse apartment in Los Angeles, Jarrod (Eric Balfour), his pregnant girlfriend Elaine "Lainey" (Scottie Thompson), Terry's wife Candice (Brittany Daniel), Terry's assistant Denise (Crystal Reed), and Terry's friend Ray (Neil Hopkins) witness an attack on the city by alien spaceships emitting mysterious beams of blue light. Ray stares at the light and is drawn into it like a moth to a flame. It starts to draw Jarrod into it, but Terry pulls him away. As the aliens canvas the city looking for more humans, Jarrod and his friends try to find a way to escape from the building they are in.

Skyline is based on a screenplay by Joshua Cordes and Liam O'Donnell. It's accompanied by a sequel, Beyond Skyline (2017) (2017).

The blue light transmits a powerful alien technology that acts like an airborne virus, similar to the way a "moth zapper" attracts moths and other insects. Once the light has come into contact with a human's eyesight, it overrides the brain and controls it, beckoning for the human to approach the light and be eventually taken to the ship. It obviously also has some major physiological effects on those that engage it with their eyes for any significant amount of time, evidenced by the crawling and growing dark-vein like effects it has on its victims.

Humans are being abducted by the aliens so their brains can be removed. Some insight into how the aliens use human brains might be seen in the parking garage scene: the alien that swallows Colin (he's released moments later) has his brain and part of his spinal column removed. The alien ejects a brain-like object and replaces it with Colin's. It might be the way they survive on Earth, replenish their energy, or gain knowledge about humans to make their defeat easier.

Jarrod has been subject to the alien technology and virus more than once. It is possible that it has begun to mutate into his DNA, effectively giving his brain an immunity to being reprogrammed. Unlike the rest of the humans taken aboard, Jarrod distinctly remembers who he is and what is going on.
