Synopsis: After getting blasted by alien energy, Sophie takes a break from reality on a girls’ trip with her mom in Cuba. Their plan is to reconnect and retrace their family history — until eerie visions “show” Sophie the fateful crash of a UFO in 1960 that has major ramifications on her life. And just as she wraps her head around that, she glimpses a premonition of her friend, Milo, getting shot.
Desperate to save him, Soph comes clean about her extraterrestrial extracurricular activities — only for the Cuban Army to arrest her. Apparently, they aren’t too fond of American reporters on their soil. What follows is an eye-opening visit from a mad scientist, a jailbreak of intergalactic proportions, and a touching heart-to-heart between Soph and her mom that leaves both women feeling newfound appreciation — and awe — for each other.
