Plot
Lesley
Hahn lives in California, and is plagued by nightmares
about faceless telephone repairmen entering her house
and taking her. She contacts psychiatrist Dr. Neil Chase
in hope of receiving treatment for her nightmares.
Mary
Wilkes is a housewife from Nebraska who has a history
of unexplained blackouts and one night ends up on a motorway
miles from her home. She is also plagued by nightmares
similar to those experienced by Lesley. Mary decides to
take a holiday in California with her sister, who knows
Dr. Chase, and is persuaded to see the psychiatrist to
find out if he can help with her nightmares. Initially,
Dr. Chase does not believe Lesley, thinking her nightmares
to be related to childhood abuse, but becomes convinced
something else is happening when Mary tells him of similar
experiences.
Neil
is struck by the similarities between the two cases, and
realises that symbols seen on board an alien ship and
drawn by Mary are similar to that of another patient of
his, a former soldier who encountered a crashed UFO which
was recovered by the government. Making contact with a
university professor who does research into alien abductions,
he begins to investigate the wider world of alien encounters,
and runs into a general who is investigating UFOs in secret.
Finally, Mary is abducted again, and learns the true purpose
of the aliens.
