After a UFO encounter, a man's life is forever changed, setting him on a desperate mission to uncover the truth as a pivotal moment draws near.

A group of scientists investigate strange occurrences in remote locations, using music as a means of communication. Meanwhile, a family man and single mother experience paranormal activity, believing it's a UFO. As they become obsessed with uncovering the truth, their visions lead them to a mysterious mound with vertical striations. The two stories intersect as they search for answers and confront authorities who deny the existence of the UFO.
