A stranger left on a high desert road, An institute where research into the psyche takes a wrong turn, A doctor who slowly becomes aware of an alien presence…
Driving home at dusk on a high desert road, Dr. Kate Morgan gives a ride to a stranger, unaware he has been waiting for her, assigned to her from the reaches of another galaxy. She brings him to Bellingham, the isolated sanatorium where she does her research, hoping to treat the severe migraines that seem to wrack his whole body.
But gradually she becomes aware that her patient has powers beyond the science she has always believed in and trusted.
What she doesn't realize is that the director of the institute has plans for her patient, experiments that move far beyond the boundaries of ethics and sanity.
As the danger accelerates, Kate must come to terms with what she discovers about the stranger and with her own capacity to stop evil and allow healing.
