First contact. Last chance.

On Christmas morning in a dying industrial town, mysterious lights appear in the sky.

Eight-year-old Timmy thinks it's Santa. Desperate farmer Jack Crawley watches them as he contemplates his final act. Café owner Macy believes they're a divine sign. Newcomer Destiny recognises them from her nightmares of war.

When the lights descend into the field behind the school, people gather to witness something that will change everything. But in a place poisoned by chemical fumes and economic despair, where fear runs deeper than hope, not everyone is ready for what emerges.

Some gifts come in forms we don't expect. Some salvation wears an unfamiliar face.

And some chances only come once.
