Posing as a caregiver, Monica (Roma Downey) is hired to look after elderly author Leonard Pound (Brian Keith), who is in a state of profound grief over the death of his wife. As the story progresses, both Monica and Leonard find themselves uncomfortably reliving the night of October 30, 1938, when Orson Welles' infamous "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast panicked the entire nation. While Monica recalls with embarrassment how her well-meaning efforts to calm the populace only made matters worse, Leonard looks back in despair at a devastating personal tragedy. Ultimately, however, Leonard realizes that the chaotic events of that long-ago October evening culminated in the happiest event of his life! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
