Tom has received a promotion that will increase his salary and require him and wife Monica to relocate to Denver. On the night he breaks this news to his wife, Tom witnesses a strange light outside the bedroom window. Over the next several nights Tom experiences more strange lights, sounds and mysterious voices. Monica cannot be awakened during all of these happenings. Tom grows increasingly paranoid and tries to convince Monica he is not making this up. Monica doubts him as he has had mental issues in the past, especially when dealing with workplace matters, and she suspects the promotion may have triggered this spell. When Tom believes there is a strange lump in his neck, he calls the doctor, only to have the mysterious Dr. Morris show up on his doorstep to explain a device has been planted inside him, and Monica is responsible. That night Tom confronts Monica and attacks her in his paranoid state. Monica flees, and Tom is assaulted by more voices, growing ever more panicked. Tom suddenly finds himself paralyzed and examined by aliens, among them Dr. Morris, who tells him they will fix his problem. Tom screams as a needle is inserted into his neck. He awakes to find Monica back and everything again normal, but just as he is prepared to accept it all as a nightmare, Tom again hears the voices in his head.
