An unexpected murder. A mysterious crime ring called "The Collective." And... Aliens?

In the heart of the Nevada desert lies Rachel, a quirky town for those obsessed with all things extraterrestrial. But when a beloved local shop owner is found dead under suspiciously "otherworldly" circumstances, Private Investigator Annie Hudson and her FBI partner Ethan Becket are pulled into a case unlike any they've faced.

As they delve into the tangled lives of Rachel's eccentric residents, the duo tries to find Russel Grey's compound, where he waged his war against a crime ring called "The Collective." They intend to finish his mission. That is-- if they're not abducted, first.

Are the town’s alien sightings and conspiracy theories merely imaginative folklore—or could something far stranger be at play? Caught between a puzzling murder investigation and the secrets of a shadowy desert outpost, Annie and Ethan must untangle fact from fiction before the "The Collective" hunts them down.
