The mysterious crash of the space shuttle leads to the terrifying discovery that there is something alien 
within the wreckage. Those who come in contact with it are changing in ominous and inexplicable ways. Soon 
Washington, DC psychiatrist Carol Bennell and her friend, Dr. Ben Driscoll, learn the shocking truth about 
the growing extraterrestrial epidemic: it attacks its victims while they sleep, leaving them physically 
unchanged but strangely unfeeling and inhuman. As the infection spreads, more and more people are altered 
and it becomes impossible to know who can be trusted. Now Carol's only hope is to stay awake long enough 
to find her young son, who may hold the key to stopping the devastating invasion.

with her friend Dr. Ben Driscoll the researcher Dr. Stephen Galeano, they discover that the extraterrestrial 
epidemic affects human beings while sleeping and that her son Ollie, who had chickenpox when he was a baby, 
is immune to the disease and may save mankind from the outbreak.
