An innocent birthday cake becomes the chilling clue that exposes the imposter living inside the Peterson home.

As a potential whistleblower threatens to reveal classified UAP secrets, NARB goes into lockdown, putting immense pressure on Ramirez and Dr. Stevens to contain the fallout. At home, “Larson’s’’ sudden surge in productivity and unexpected success at Taryn’s school begin to win over two of the children. But, Daniel suspicions continue to grow.

A quiet birthday celebration turns pivotal when one small detail about the cake reveals something terrifyingly wrong. Daniel’s discovery shatters his perception of his mother and forces the family into a danger they never imagined. While NARB scrambles to prevent exposure, the alien threat embedded in the Peterson household deepens beyond anything they’re prepared for.
