Plot
A small family relocates to the Sonoran Desert, to be closer to the grandparents of the family. The family is at ease until, one night, a UFO soars over head and appears to land in the nearby hills. The family finds that all of their electrical appliances no longer function, and the youngest daughter of thee family has a telepathic encounter with an extraterrestrial. The grandfather of the family, while trying to start the car, sees that a strange animal is approaching from the distance. The grandfather goes back inside and informs the family that something is coming; before long, a variety of horrific, alien monsters (all of these creatures being of a reptilian or amphibious nature) are proceeding to slaughter each other outside the house; some are trying to break in and kill the family. After a few moments, the same UFO from before appears in the sky, and teleports the creatures to a different place. The family take this opportunity to escape to the barn, which is more easily defensible then the house. The family hides until sunrise, where they find that they have been launched thousands of years into the future. They see a domed city in the distance, and decide to seek refuge there. The grandfather proclaims that this place, and whosoever should live there, will be their new home, and their new companions. The family travels off into the distance, having survived the day time ended.
