Dave Reed is working the Saturday midnight shift in the CIA's Message Watch Office when a misdirected top-secret message arrives from NORAD-a fortified US Air Force command that conducts its operations inside a mountain. The enigmatic message rekindles Dave's interest in UFOs. On a lark, he and a coworker set out to a small town where a hillbilly playboy named Tater and several other residents have seen mysterious lights in the sky, and people have disappeared under unusual circumstances.

Reuben Garrett thinks he knows all there is to know about UFOs. After all, he's a senior operations officer for an ultra-secret government project that investigates UFOs and alien abductions. What else could there be? Garrett discovers there's more to the UFO phenomenon than he has been lead to believe when he crosses paths with Dave Reed.
