As Clive, Susan, Fawkes and the other survivors of the alien invasion of Lower Crowchurch try to cope with what just happened to their small town, the military arrives in an attempt to cover up the incident. Town residents are immediately detained, questioned and treated with suspicion. Are they alien spies, collaborators, sympathizers?
