When a young reporter takes on her late father's mission to expose the truth about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), a shadow government agency devises a sinister plan to push her over the edge as they did to her father before his tragic death.
SYNOPSIS:
The life and career of LA Times reporter JILL KAGAN (30) are about to radically change when her
estranged grandfather passes away and leaves her a house on a desolate
ranch in the Arizona desert. Inside it, Jill finds piles of boxes
containing classified documents about U.S. military encounters with UAPs
and technologies ripped from alleged extraterrestrial crashed vehicles.
Jill learns that her grandfather used to work for a secret government
agency that researches and monitors UAP activity.
This becomes a golden opportunity for Jill to write an exposé that would
kick off her career as an investigative journalist. However, Jill's
demanding boss, the LA Times' Editor in Chief, MARGARET DUGAL (50s),
demands that Jill first find a reliable source that can authenticate her
grandfather's documents. With the help of an LA Times photographer and
former Green Beret, LEO COSTELLO (42), who's also her unofficial
boyfriend, Jill embarks on a search for that source.
As Jill starts reaching out to people who worked with her grandfather,
she gets on the radar of SPECIAL AGENT TOWNSEND (50) who's in charge of
ensuring that the agency's activities and what it knows about UAPs are
kept behind a wall of secrecy. It happens that back in the early 2000s
Jill's grandfather was suspected of leaking secret documents to his son
Bruce, Jill's father, who was an investigative journalist. However, this
was never substantiated. Townsend reopens the case and is tasked with
finding out what Jill is up to.
With the help of Leo, Jill manages to stay one step ahead of Townsend
and even turns the tables on him. Utilizing tactics that Leo picked
during his military service, they surveil Townsend and his men, during
which a shocking revelation about Jill's father, Bruce Kagan, comes out.
When Jill was a child, her father was about to publish an article that
would expose the agency and UAP cover-up. However, he committed suicide
before his article saw the light of day.
Unwittingly, Townsend leads Jill and Leo to Railhead Air Force base in
Nevada. Leo finds an aerial photo of the Railhead base on the dark web.
In it, he locates a giant hangar with a roof that remarkably resembles a
hangar in an old mysterious photo that Jill's grandfather left in his
will, in which he poses with three comrades. Jill and Leo take a gamble
that Jill's grandfather left her a clue that something is hidden in that
hangar.
The two con their way onto the Railhead airbase under the cover of
reporters who are coming to interview the base's commander. Upon their
arrival, they sneak away, locate the hangar, and slip inside. They
discover a boomerang-shaped vehicle the size of a football field covered
with a tarp. As Jill takes a video with her phone of Leo lifting the
tarp, soldiers storm in. Just before Jill and Leo get arrested, Jill
sends the clip to Margaret and her LA Times colleagues.
Join Jill and Leo as they regain their freedom and launch an
investigation into a shadowy government agency that has secretly studied
Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) for half a century. They uncover
the agency's efforts to reverse-engineer technologies obtained from
crashed UAPs and its connection to the tragic death of Jill's father.
