Overview
An innocent family outing becomes an exercise in terror when a blinding light from the sky descends on the Wilsons - Bob, Dez, and their son Andy, rendering them unconscious. They awake the following morning with no memory of the incident, yet they are all plagued by images of extraterrestrials and inexplicable anxiety.
