Synopsis
- When Catherine Fraser (Tessa Wyett), awakens from a ten year coma an old UFO investigation is reopened. In the hospital, Catherine tells Cmdr. Ed Straker (Ed Bishop) that she ran away from home, met a young man named Tim (Christian Roberts) who had just given up his medical studies, travelled with him to an abandoned farmhouse, and discovered Aliens installing something into the ground. As both young people were on LSD, they playfully stole a piece of the installation, and Tim died, when he just for fun jumped off the farmhouse roof. Catherine cannot remember where the farmhouse is, or what happened to the piece of the installation, which Straker believes to be a bomb. Tim, who was brought back to life by the Aliens and works in the hospital, secretly overhears the questioning of Catherine and visits her. After being injected with an Alien serum, Catherine remembers where she left the missing piece. Now Straker and Col. Paul Foster (Michael Billington) must find the farmhouse and deactivate the bomb to prevent a desasterous explosion.
