He found something in the desert that shouldn’t exist. Now the government will burn his town to the ground to get it back.
When small-town mechanic Danny Murray witnesses a fiery crash near Devil’s Ridge, he expects wreckage—not a living alien. The small, gray being is hurt and terrified, its voice echoing in his mind, begging for help. Against all reason, Danny decides to save it.
By dawn, Timberwood, Montana is under military lockdown. Federal agents comb every street. Homes are raided. Agent Mercer demands answers, and he’s certain Danny knows more than he’s saying.
As tension escalates and trust unravels, Danny learns the alien is trying to reach a rescue ship. It promises peace, but its story doesn’t add up. With the town sealed off and time running out, Danny must choose between doing what feels right and surviving the fallout of mercy.
Because some visitors don’t come in peace.
