There are two days until Christmas. Bob Ashworth, a young associate attorney at the Haunted Law firm, and his wife Samantha are on their way to spend the holiday with Big Jim Tompkins, one of the firm's major clients, at the Tompkins mansion deep in the North Carolina mountains. In the meantime, Mitch and Diana McCaffrey and Diana's sons are preparing to celebrate Christmas with their friends Ben Callahan and Alyssa McCormick, a couple of mountain ridges over from the Tompkins place. The most severe snowstorm in thirty years is moving in. The quiet holiday takes an unexpected turn when an apparent alien spacecraft creeps in through the blizzard and lands close to the Tompkins mansion. With air travel of any sort completely shut down by the storm, Mitch, Diana and Alyssa are asked by their Defense Intelligence Agency handler to investigate, and offered the assistance of their old nemesis, Monica Gilbert, who is vacationing nearby at a mountain resort. The alien threat turns out to be real, and endangers everyone at the Tompkins home. Mitch, Alyssa, and Diana will learn whether their Talents are a match for alien tech, and whether Monica is really an ally. And this time, Ben's legal skills are of no help.
