The Gleam

After surviving an alien invasion, two grieving individuals discover a means to change their past - but not without dire consequences.

Several years after an alien invasion, two strangers find themselves living in a nature park. They are drawn to each other by their mutual feelings of having lost loved ones. Life has become a hopeless state of limbo, that is, until they discover an object of alien technology that may provide a doorway to the past or to their worst memory. Even though they disagree about the purpose of the object, devastating truths are discovered that will change the course of their lives.
