His wife and his child go through difficult months while Jack is in the hospital. In a lonely corner of Montana, Eduardo Fernandez, the father of the McGarveys' murdered partner, becomes the victim of an extraterrestrial intelligent entity that has no such concepts as good and evil, life and death.
