Description

Tamara Whelan and her sullen adolescent daughter have just arrived in the isolated Wyoming mining town of Iron Mountain. The financially strapped single mother has accepted a teaching job, replacing someone who died under suspicious circumstances. As Tamara struggles to adjust to life among superstitious neighbors in an unforgiving place, she's plagued by horrifying night visions of a strange man and an unfamiliar beach that glistens in the moonlight. Unbeknownst to her, the man, Thad Alexander, is real. He lives in Belize and has been dreaming about her as well. These two strangers find their lives increasingly intertwined as mysterious and menacing extraterrestrial technology allows them to read each other's minds and become intimately familiar with each other's worlds. Amid natural disasters and inexplicable vanishings, Thad and Tamara find themselves at the tumultuous center of a titanic battle between love and destruction, waged by forces beyond their control.
