The Old Man from the Stars chronicles the sole survivor of the 1947 Roswell crash, 'Luke', and his struggle to elude capture from shadowy government forces to reach the safety of the Vatican. In the decades that follow, with the ability to morph into human form, Luke blends into modern society as a Catholic priest. Father Luke, as he is known, befriends the Gordon family, who are later subjected to a horrifying alien abduction that leaves behind young Thomas Gordon. When Thomas becomes of age as a young priest, Father Luke is forced to let his own protegee search for the answer behind his parent's abduction, a search which sets off an incredible chain of events that personify the struggle between good and evil.
