The movie delves into Gilliland’s life story, his own near death experience, his personal encounters with other worldly beings, and also includes interviews with physicists and other experts who have visited the ranch and share their perceptions of these phenomena. The films includes appearances by Dr. Miceal Ledwith, Neil Freer, Dr. Brooks Agnew, Afred Webre, and Dr. Michael Salla.
