Meet Colonel Michael Wilkes, the head of a select group of government and military officials who have been monitoring the Grays for years. Wilkes has done everything in his power to keep the secret of the Grays from the public. But when the Grays begin to reveal themselves, Wilkess fear of occupation forces him to set in motion his own sinister plan to ensure the survival of humanity, but at what cost? The fate of the human race lies with one woman, Lauren Glass, whose unique ability to communicate with the last remaining captive Gray, known as A for Adam, may be the only way humans can truly unravel the Grays ultimate plan.
