Plot[]
Suzanne and Debi attempt to move to a country farm owned by Suzanne's mother, only to find that the Morthren are using it to incubate alien crops.
Synopsis[]
Suzanne's mother Rebecca owns a cooperative farm. Suzanne takes Debi there to escape the mounting violence over food shortages. The Morthren, also short of food, clone Rebecca's husband John and two other co-op members; then posing as Department of Agriculture soil researchers, the clones use the farm's greenhouse to grow Morthren food. Growing suspicious, Rebecca alerts Suzanne who calls Harrison. He discovers that the researchers are fake. Arriving with Kincaid, Harrison finds Suzanne and Debi fleeing through the fields. Suzanne has shot the clones, but the Morthren have killed her mother.
