To believe is one thing. To know is something completely different.
When a fostered teenage rebel suspects that her father is not dead but in fact kidnapped by UFOs, she takes help from a UFO association to discover the truth. Together, they embark on a risky adventure that takes them far beyond the laws borders and into a world filled with unidentified flying expeditions, conspiracies and inexplicable phenomena.
