       Two brothers, Aaron (Moorhead) and Justin (Benson) escaped a UFO death cult as boys. Ten years later, during which time they have failed to adjust to society, Aaron talks Justin into going back. Just for a visit.

       Many of the sect members remember them. None of them seems to have aged and they’re convinced that something, a higher power, up there, out there, is watching them. Helping them? 

       Everyone seems so happy and fulfilled but Justin is sceptical and uneasy and filled with bad memories of the place. And finally foreboding.

       What a peculiar story, what a compelling and dramatic film.
