The strange circumstances surrounding the death of a geologist and his dog reveal a startling truth. Something unearthed by the rock collector has been unleashed upon the sleepy town of Las Cruces, New Mexico.
In the days that follow, a series of increasingly disturbing and deadly events reveal the existence of an unstoppable extraterrestrial force bent on the systematic destruction of the town and the complete extermination of its inhabitants.
Yogi Glass, a disillusioned Detroit cop, Maria Torres, a driven crime lab supervisor, and her eleven-year-old computer wiz nephew, Daniel Stuart, form an unlikely bond as they struggle to survive, to discover what was unearthed, and to stop it before it destroys them, the town, and ultimately, the world.
