Synopsis
The small town of Millville, Wisconsin is suddenly enclosed by an invisible, impenetrable barrier erected by an alien intelligence that takes the form of purple flowers. Narrator Bradshaw Carter, chosen as humanity's liaison with the aliens, must determine whether the extraterrestrials' offer of collaboration is genuine or a threat to the human race.
