[edit] Introduction

Eddie Wexler suffers from flashbacks to an alien abduction, which eventually drive him to suicidal behaviour. After checking himself into a mental institution with others suffering from similar problems, he begins to suspect that there is something more sinister going on at the hospital.

[edit] Opening narration

"We do not know or fully comprehend what exists in the reaches past our world. Should we be so quick to dismiss the voices of those who say they've been... beyond the veil?"

[edit] Closing narration

"It is said that madmen and fools are the children of God and yet we seek to confine these children to the outer reaches of society, shut away and ignored. Is it possible that what we dismiss as their mad ravings may, in fact, be... the wisdom of prophets?"
