The story follows a survivor of an apocalyptic event where the sun's light has become lethal, causing people and animals to melt into a gelatinous, sentient mass. The survivor, heavily clothed and wearing protective gear, enters an abandoned SCP Foundation facility, where they discover a computer terminal with information about the event, known as SCP-001.
The files reveal that the SCP Foundation had tried to contain the situation, but ultimately failed. The survivor discovers a series of audio logs and video recordings from Researcher Dr. Logan Igotta, who was trying to find a way to escape and reverse the effects of SCP-001.
As the survivor delves deeper into the files, they learn about the horrors of SCP-001 and the futile attempts by the Foundation to contain it. They also discover that Dr. Igotta had become increasingly unhinged, trying to perform a ritual to save her partner's soul, but ultimately succumbing to the same fate.
The story takes a dark turn when the survivor discovers a handgun in the desk drawer, which they consider using to end their life. However, just as they are about to make a decision, they receive an update on the file, which reveals a sinister message and a video of the survivor themselves, being stalked by an otherworldly entity.
In the end, the survivor is grabbed by a massive, flesh-like entity and carried towards the light, which will ultimately seal their fate.
