Donnie and Keith think they've found a way out of the shelter and work toward an escape. But the Archonite Project was never about merely making people believe that the United States and Soviet Union had launched World War III. It was about control, the study of human societal structure and conflict resolution under extreme stress, the bonds between family and friends (along with their limits), and the measure of just how far a man might go to protect what he can claim as his. As the truths behind both the Kutter Family's demise, and their own deceptions are laid bare, old friends will have to decide if they really want to leave the shelter... or stay.

JOHN CARPENTERS TALES OF SCIENCE FICTION TP TWITCH
(W) Duane Swierczynski (A) Richard Clark (CA) Tim Bradstreet
August 1977. Astronomers detect the so-called "WOW" signal: a burst of sound from deep space, near the constellation Sagittarius. The signal is believed to be extraterrestrial in origin. Today. In a desert town one hour north of L.A., Lieutenant Ron Pinkerton watches in horror as law-abiding citizens begin to lose their minds. Then astrophysicist Marisa Stringfellow appears, telling Pinkerton the craziest thing he's ever heard: an alien entity is taking over minds one by one and using their hijacked bodies to create as much mayhem as (in)humanly possible. The tell-tale sign: a violent twitch that means: goodbye, nervous system. Now humanity's last chance lies in the hands of hardboiled cop and a heartbroken scientist... that is, until one of them begins to twitch.
