In an all-out alien invasion, massive extra-terrestrial bolides penetrate Earth's atmosphere, trapping three friends in a wide forest clearing. Is this a prelude to war, or is this the beginning of humanity's total annihilation?

A group of friends writing a book on the history of Los Angeles finds that their roommate is missing and has taken all of the material for the book. Two years later, a man working for a book publishing company finds the finished book but cannot find the author. He goes on a search to find out exactly what happened to them.

A sane man is tested by the paranoia and stubbornness of his roommate, his girlfriend and her healer.
