After a lonely but heavily drunken night, Christina Lombard is saved by Lily St. Hyde, her former high school English teacher. On their way home they are stopped at a railroad crossing just as the lights & bells go berserk but no train passes them by. Suddenly, Christina notices a star growing rapidly brighter until it wizzes over the car causing everything to tremble & shake in the red glow of the meteor. They whip around to see it descend miles behind them out the back window. The next morning they head out, Christina through a hangover, to search for the fallen star. They find their way in the tiny hamlet of Abbeys Hollow only to discover the entire place void of life, no people, no shops opened except for the Downingtown Diner & Abbeys Hollow Sherrifs Office which are empty & quite the mess inside as if struggles went down everywhere. So begins the frightening mystery that leads our characters directly into battle with a shapeless flesh devouring being with the ability to trick victims into an ambush of gory proportions hellbent on taking our planet ...until it falls in love which causes problems for its little plan of world dominance.
