In this chilling sci-fi tale, slightly updated from author Robert A. Heinlein's book, government officials are sent to Iowa to investigate an alien landing. They discover alien beings are taking over the brains of their human hosts. Their task: devise a way to stop the invaders before they spread too far, without killing the innocent humans.

Aliens invade Iowa and begin clinging to human flesh, sucking their blood and brains, and transforming the once peaceful Midwesterners into killer zombies. It is up to Andrew Nevins, and his son Sam, a martial arts expert, to stop the mass destruction without any outside help, for no one knows who's been brainwashed into murder....

Additional cast: Benjamin Mouton (Higgins) and David Pasquest (Vargas).
