The film seeks to explain the phenomenon surrounding alien abduction claimants. Alanna Robelia, who appears in the film as an experiencer, said, "“I am grateful to director John Yost for creating a safe place for all of us to tell our stories and his willingness to be vulnerable by telling us about his own abduction experience. I never would have imagined that what I thought was a memory of a childhood dream would lead me to the incredible experiences and relationships I have today.”[4]
