Alien Encounter

<p>Nolan Everett a reclusive former search-and-rescue operator lives alone in a remote mountain cabin struggling with trauma from his past and the isolation of brutal winter storms. When a blinding streak of light crashes beyond the ridge his ingrained instincts override his desire to stay detached. Against his better judgment he gears up and pushes through a deadly blizzard to investigate following a trail of scorched snow and strange blue residue to an alien impact site. There he discovers wreckage unlike anything built on Earth-alive warm and leaking unknown chemicals.</p><p>As Nolan examines the site he senses danger closing in. Military aircraft approach but before he withdraws he finds a wounded woman who is almost human: glowing skin multicolored hair and a body coated in blue fluid. She communicates telepathically begging him not to let them take her. Driven by training and guilt Nolan rescues her and carries her into the storm narrowly avoiding incoming military teams and drones. The escape becomes a grueling battle against the cold exhaustion and the surreal psychic visions she unintentionally floods into his mind.</p><p>Back at his cabin Nolan shelters the woman-Lira-and tends to her injuries. Her physiology is unlike anything he's seen: wounds seal with blue bioluminescent fluid and her body heals rapidly. Though terrified and disoriented she mirrors his speech and behavior with uncanny speed learning language within hours. Their fragile trust grows through basic communication shared survival and Nolan's reluctant re-awakening of his long-buried caretaking instincts. Yet every interaction with her touches on something alien-her gaze too sharp her movements too fluid her thoughts leaking into his.</p><p>Meanwhile General Mitchell Granger leads a covert military operation to capture the crash survivor motivated by national orders and the promise of unimaginable discovery. As his teams zero in on the heat signatures of Nolan and Lira he prepares for an aggressive extraction despite the deadly storm. Nolan senses the tightening net and knows his refuge cannot protect them for long. What was once a solitary life of penance has become a race to safeguard a mysterious stranger-one who may reshape his world or destroy it-while powerful forces close in from the sky.</p>
