Set against the backdrop of a small desert town in Arizona, the story revolves around an otherworldly murder that sets off a tense investigation uncovering alien infiltration. The narrative explores themes of secrecy, invasion, and the clash between humanity and extraterrestrial beings. The plot begins with the mysterious murder of Mack Styles, whose body is
discovered by two Security men. As they investigate the eerie town of Mesa Flat, they sense something is amiss, leading them to uncover a hidden alien base where the townspeople are actually androids created by extraterrestrial beings. The story escalates into a confrontation where the Security men fight for their lives against these synthetic inhabitants. Ultimately, their realization that no graveyard exists in the town unveils the dark truth behind the aliens' experiment, leading to a revelation that the invaders have inadvertently revealed their plan through their carelessness in maintaining their human camouflage.
