An alien husband and wife team become separated when the catastrophic failure of their spacecraft forces them to eject into the darkness over the Pacific Ocean near the Oregon coast. An old retired priest discovers the exhausted female alien trying to pull herself onto the beach and, with the assistance of some of his friends, endeavors to help the female alien find her husband and, as they await the arrival of their rescue ship, avoid capture by the newly installed global dictatorship that is hunting them. The aliens, however, are not defenseless. Nature has given them a potent weapon: their voices.
