John Klein (Gere), a Washington newspaper reporter leaves his job after his wife (Messing) dies to investigate strange reports, including psychic visions ("Prophecies") and sightings of winged creatures ("Mothmen"), in a small West Virginia town, that may be the signs of an alien invasion of Earth.....
In the small town, local Sheriff Connie Mills (Laura Linney) struggles with many sightings of a mothlike creature taller than a man being reported, while John believes that an explanation for his wife's fate can be found. The deeper John digs, the clearer the mothman's purpose arises, only to leave his life in immediate danger, so it seems.
