Yet the couples routine will soon be disturbed when one rainy night, they witness strange lights in the sky over the village. The next morning, ufologists begin to arrive in the village, anxious to make extraterrestrial contact. The morning brings other unexpected guests Jons distant cousin, Markel, and his companion, the silent, alluring Virginia. The visit becomes increasingly uncomfortable aslike the ufologists camped out in view of the housethe strangers stay on and show little sign of planning to leave. Days stretch into weeks, even as the cousins cant remember ever having met, Virginias behavior becomes subtly threatening, and Jon begins doubt that Markel is who he says he . . .
