After witnessing the slaughter of his entire family by evil aliens bent on stopping him, he takes off on a cross-country race to save himself.

He stops at a farmhouse in the middle of the night to "borrow" some money and clothes, and comes across a sleeping boy about his age.

UFO buffs Castoria and Polluxia Spelkenfelter, twins, recognize Curtis from the news reports of his murder and decide to help him.

Mickey and Geneva get to know the girl, and find out that her mother is an insane drug addict, and her step-father is a murderer.

Leilani has mentioned that they are headed to Nun's Lake, Idaho to the site of a supposed close encounter and Mickey races to reach the town and find the girl.

Mickey arrives and goes to speak to the man who was "healed" by aliens, and finds out that Leilani's step-father hasn't been there yet.

Preston traps them in a corner and lights the newspapers in front of them on fire, planning to listen as they burn to death.

Noah Farrell, the PI, shoots Preston Maddoc as he races through the maze searching for Mickey and Leilani.

Leilani, Mickey, Aunt Gen, and Noah join Cass and Polly in their quest to help Curtis fulfill the mission he's been sent here for.
