At 3:15 a.m., the ear-splitting alarm sounded. Seconds later, the blinding white light appeared. When it was over, five hundred Antelope Creek, Arizona residents lay dead, their remains a ghostly shade of white, their bodies completely bloodless.

Survivors are left stunned by the strange phenomena. They're scared and want answers that no one is able to provide. Not the CDC, WHO, or the EPA. This leads many of the residents to create their own theories about what transpired in their town.

Old Jedediah Hodges swears that aliens are to blame. Maizie Guthrie is convinced that the Rapture has taken place. Jimmy Ray Wheeler believes it's a Russian nuclear attack. Others worry that a deadly plague has been released upon the world, destined to eradicate humankind.

There's just one problem with those hypotheses.

They're all wrong.

The extraordinary truth is uncovered inside the bodies during post-mortems, and the reality is beyond what anyone could've ever envisioned.
