A UFO appears in broad daylight above suburban Napanee, Indiana. Two neighboring couples will never be the same. Tommy, the cookout king, is so afraid of the watchers that he betrays himself to turn vegetarian. His high-strung wife, Cher, evolves into a genius of meditation despite herself. Next door, Jim denies everything he's seen, even after his repeated abductions. Meanwhile, his partner, Amy, who's sure we're not alone but needs answers, drags both couples to a UFO conference in Arkansas. Met with the cryptic Message in the Sky, Tommy, Cher, Jim, and Amy all struggle to make sense of their lives after normality shot away at an unlikely angle and an impossible speed.
