|---|
"Mike McAuliffe, a lonely workaholic, is creating a technology that will save the star people from the evil Others - only he doesn't realize the importance of his project. Then out of the blue a beautiful woman appears in his life. At first Mike thinks she is an angel. Then he thinks she's crazy. Then, as his world goes up in flames around him, he has no choice but to follow her, on the run, hiding from an enemy who could be anyone - anywhere. No choice but to trust this woman with golden eyes, who says she has been sent to help him accomplish an unknown goal. And no choice but to fall in love with this innocent he knows must leave him once her mission is complete..."
