War of the Worlds

In 1953, a worldwide invasion from Mars would have eliminated humanity had the extraterrestrial invaders not been vulnerable to the indigenous bacteria on the planet. Now an accident at a dumpsite revives the comatose aliens who then shortly attempt to resume the war they started 35 years ago.

35 years ago, Earth experienced a war of the worlds, humanity's savior being common diseases to which it had long since gained immunity. However, a Pandora's Box is opened when the invaders are accidently revived via radiation exposure, canceling the presence of their microscopic attackers. Their plot to reignite warfare is recognized only by Dr. Harrison Blackwood, who must convince others of the renewed global threat.

After a period without any further evidence of the aliens' existence, the powers-that-be try to shut down the Blackwood Project. Meanwhile, the aliens try desperately to find a way to combat the threat brought on by the radiation that is killing them.

The aliens trek to Canada in order to free more of their sleeping brethren. The Blackwood Project's only hope in finding them lies in the scattered mind of War of the Worlds veteran Sylvian Van Buren.

The aliens move toward an operation that will begin integrating themselves into human society, thus developing agents to be active anywhere in the world.

As Grover's Mill celebrates the 50th anniversary of the radio drama that made it famous, little do they know what really happened that night in 1938, or that the "Martians" have returned.
