Evie Shao gets the call she has waited fifteen years to receive. Her brother Jakob has surfaced. When their family camping trip went wrong all those years ago, their father came back babbling about alien abduction. Jakob never came back at all. The incident split the family apart. Kass became the responsible one, convinced Jakob simply ran away. Evie abandoned her studies to chase UFO sightings and conspiracy theories, never giving up hope. Now Jakob stands before them, aged and changed, speaking of intergalactic warfare. The sisters must overcome their bitter estrangement to help him. The FBI wants Jakob. If his wild stories prove true, something far worse may be hunting him. The Shao family faces two impossible tasks: saving Jakob from his pursuers and healing the wounds that have festered between them for fifteen years.
