Instead, Sean suffers severe cruise interruption when Leila mysteriously disappears, and his desperate search for her leads him into a tangled web of inter-terrestrial intrigue. Equally desperate, disoriented, and terrified, Leila is trapped in an undisclosed location. "The Event" TV show fills-in the back-story as the current drama unfolds: As World War II drew to a close, an alien craft crashed in Alaska; government scientists determined the passengers were 99% identical to humans, but that radical 1% difference has the capacity to wreak havoc on the American population, among whom several of the survivors have been hiding and thriving.
