It has probably started much earlier, but with Detective Jensen (Stuart Wahlin) it starts with Barney (Lambert Maddy), a man who has gone missing six days ago when driving home from bowling, and then found himself in Dulce, New Mexico, that's not only quite a bit off from his way home, he also has no idea how he got there. He just remembers a bright light that has come out of the sky, but that's not much to go on.  Over the next days, Jensen is confronted with more and more missing person cases, and weirdly enough all are tied to Dulce, a rather insignificant village really if it wasn't for a secret gouvernment facility ...

Intended to be the first in a trio of movies on the subject, this short does a great job setting up its main plot by giving the audience just enough facts and mystery to make things interesting. But that the film actually feels like more than a first act is thanks to a very engaging direction that mixes some impressive visuals with suggestive sequences and some very decent effects work, all thing that promise as much for future entries as deliver for the one at hand. In all, a pretty cool piece of genre cinema.
