A tense domestic terrorism thriller centered on paranoia and distrust, where a traumatized outsider's warnings about a hidden threat gradually gain credence.

In Port City, North Carolina, a vagrant discovers plans for an invasion. His attempts to warn law enforcement are ignored but when the Sheriff notices odd interactions with other townsfolk, he begins to look into the claim of a sleeper cell living amongst the locals.
