Thriller
9.7 / 10(12)

In 1961, at the height of the Cold War, an enigmatic CIA operative investigates the source of a mysterious shortwave signal-generated either by Russian double agents/spies and their handlers or originating from extraterrestrial aliens/UFOs, or both-and systematically tracks the source in order to disrupt the possible activation of a thermonuclear "dead man's switch." At the same time, a plucky young woman fights to rescue her younger brother, who has the ability to see alien "insect people," from the clutches of ill-intentioned "government doctors," while a dogged radio host in Dayton, Ohio uses his UFO-focused show to expose ongoing government-sanctioned conspiracies to hide the fact that extraterrestrial aliens not only exist, but are already living among us.
