When a ranch family is found dead, everyone has their own idea as to what happened. The neighbors suspect the family was attacked by the United Nations or, maybe, by spacemen. The county sheriff believes, at least at first, that the family died from an illness. His cohort, the sheriff from the next county over, suspects something more sinister is going on, especially when two federal agents show up unexpectedly. When Will Bennet, a reporter from up north, and his new friend, Eva Gomez, start looking into the matter, they discover what may be a deadly puzzle but find few answers. Still, everyone suspects something is about to happen. Can anyone figure out what is going on before terrible things begin to occur?
