Paul Johnson tracks an eccentric toy designer to a residence on the outskirts of Flagstaff, AZ. But there is more going on than just research on novel toys... reports of UFO's, brutal murders, and animal mutilations begin to surface all around the city. Paul runs into a spunky waitress who agrees to show him around the Flagstaff area and help him pinpoint the toy maker's house. They arrive at dusk... just in time to become involved in an alien attack on the house. They quickly discover that the toy maker is more than just a little eccentric... and that life for all of them may have a very short timeline. Through a harrowing attempt to escape the impending destruction of the toy maker's house, Paul and Stacy become caught up in a case that reaches across Northeastern Arizona with death flaming up along their trail as they race to meet a most surprising conclusion... all revealed in Paul's notes and the ToyMaker file on his abandoned laptop.
