Charlie Keys, father of Ellie Keys, fled into obscure exile to the small Canadian town of Goderich, Ontario. He wanted to escape the notoriety surrounding the aliens taking Ellie up in a star-ship. Twenty years later, Ellie returns with a daughter as part of the alien project to absorb the positive human traits of empathy and conviviality. Ellie and her daughter, both part human, hope to save life on Earth from the certain ecocide by humans. Circumstance thwarts their plan for a low-key introduction. Canadian journalists expose the alien presence and the American government’s attempt to exploit them. A rogue visitor to the inner solar system forces a more spectacular alien appearance. The undeniable existence of aliens forces humans to re-think our place in the cosmos. Return is a sequel and homage to Steven Spielberg’s mini-series Taken.
