Runcorn in the 1950s. An industrial town in the North of England. A man from this town, James Cooke, claims to have travelled with aliens to a distant planet. In doing so he cements his place in the Ufological lore as 'Britain's first abductee'. He returns with a fantastical tale of a planet full of musically powered flying ships and technology far more complex than anything on Earth. He also brings back a message for humankind. They must renounce their war like ways or face imminent destruction.
