A woman named Becky wakes up in the Cube. She enters another room. The room enters a state of reversed gravity and it is implied that she is killed.
Seven captives find themselves trapped in cubes. They come across Colonel Thomas Maguire, who informs the group that they must solve a code in order to escape. A wall then begins to close in on the group. They escape while Thomas stays behind and is killed. Experiences around the cube reveal that gravity can operate in different directions in each room, while Mrs. Paley and Jerry realize that they may be in a tesseract, or a hypercube. Kate notices the numbers "60659" in many rooms.
The group soon realizes that they are all in some way connected to Izon, a high level weapons manufacturer. Mrs. Paley opens a panel to reveal her being killed by Simon, who is decapitated soon after by beams. Jerry theorizes that it is a parallel universe, while Max and Julia think it is an illusion. Simon explains to Jerry that he is an investigator and is looking for Becky. Later, while the group is asleep, Sasha hears a noise and awakens everyone. The group finds a square in the middle of the room, which grows into variations of a tesseract, before expanding into a frame. The group flees into another room, but Jerry is injured and killed by the tesseract, which grows rapidly. Kate remains to save Sasha, who is still trapped in the room. Sasha and Kate are separated from the remainder of the group as a result.
Simon starts to suspect that Mrs. Paley is a spy, so he gags her and ties her up, but beams start protruding from the walls. Simon tries to save Mrs. Paley, but Paley refuses to let him go, so he stabs her with his knife. Max and Julia take the opportunity to escape from Simon to a different room. After experiencing time differences between rooms, they have a heated conversation which lead to them having sex, while in a room that is zero-gravity and time-dilated. They age rapidly and die. Kate finds the corpses floating in the air. Simon continues to degrade mentally as he begins to embrace the parallel universe theory. He encounters a parallel Jerry and Becky and kills them both.
Kate finds realities of her death in other rooms and is horrified. Sasha tells Kate that time and space are distorted where they are and reality is collapsing. She reveals that she is Alex Trusk who is responsible for the creation of the tesseract. She also reveals that she tried to stop their operation, but was pursued so she "fled into the only place they wouldn't follow." Kate still believes that there is a way out. After she is attacked by Simon, she manages to stab him in the eye. Not long after he appears behind Alex, looking older and more dishevled, carrying tokens from several versions of the people he has killed. Alex claims that they "are all dead", which causes Simon to snap her neck.
Kate finds that the tesseract is shrinking, and she stabs Simon in the leg with his knife and punches him in his throat. She looks at the duplicates of Jerry's watch and realizes that "60659" is the time that the tesseract will implode. She takes Alex's necklace, which is filled with information on Izon. The hypercube starts to wear away, and Kate opens a panel in the bottom. She jumps in just as the Hypercube implodes.
Kate wakes up in the hands of authorities in a factory. She gives them the necklace, but she is shot in the head by one of the operatives. An authority reports that "Phase 2 is terminated" as the operatives leave the facility.
