Doctor James Reynolds, a distinguished research scientist, has sunk into alcoholic depression following the death of his beloved wife twelve months earlier. A small meteorite crashes into his garden late one evening, re-igniting his scientific curiosity. He recovers the rock to discover it contains something extraordinary: genetic material. A strange message subsequently appears on his computer with instructions on how to culture the rock's contents. In a short time, an alien creature emerges from the bubbling mixture in his bath. He teaches it and hides its presence from his close friend Valerie. But he fears he's going mad as he repeatedly sees his dead wife. What is the purpose of the alien creature? Is he going mad? Are dark and terrible secrets about to be uncovered by the alien's presence? An outstanding tale which grips you in a mesmerising puzzle and challenges you to resolve the mysterious events. A mature read for the intelligent reader and created using stills from the motion picture by the same name.
