A paranoid sci-fi invasion thriller built on marital suspicion and body-snatching dread, where a bride must convince others her husband has been replaced by an emotionless alien.

Aliens from Outer Space are slowly switching places with real humans -- one of the first being a young man about to get married. Slowly, his new wife realizes something is wrong, and her suspicions are confirmed when her husband's odd behaviour begins to show up in other townspeople.
