Science fiction collides with the world of a psychological thriller in this chronicle of the first days of an alien visitation to a small city in northeastern Pennsylvania in 1975. What begins as a disturbing examination of marital infidelity and murder gradually changes course, as a husband and wife are abducted by aliens one stormy night in a farmer's field.
A visitor from "a galaxy far, far away" will have his own life forever altered by his contact with this married, human couple. It is the husband's homicidal intentions that cause the alien to spend more time than he intended in small-town America.
