The Shakespeare Incident

The ghost town of Shakespeare, NM sits at the end of America and perhaps the edge of the earth. Was it also visited by aliens in 1947, the same year as the Roswell incident? Denny Song claims that he shot at deputies near Shakespeare because the "aliens made him do it." When his sister, budding attorney Denise Song, comes to town, she raises the insanity defense to save her brother. But suppose he's telling the truth? Denise has secrets of her own and soon finds herself in a courtroom drama that could unlock a vast conspiracy involving law enforcement, the military, and perhaps parties unknown. And can she trust her new boyfriend, the mysterious stranger who seems to have the files that could blow this case wide open?
