His father goes to investigate but is dragged beneath the sand, only to reemerge as a stiff, cold-hearted version of his father he's never met. As more and more friends and family members are changing, David tries to get help, but it's too impossible to believe! With a little help from a sympathetic doctor, a brilliant scientist, and the US army, he confronts the alien, but is it enough to survive and save his parents?
