Rather than join her husband in Florida she's moved herself and the kids into a guesthouse at the Wainwright Mansion, a decaying, unoccupied estate with still-beautiful grounds; a parcel of prime real estate waiting to be sold. Family members begin suffering lapses of memory, triggered by a crude visual effect in which the areas around their heads momentarily blur. Eventually it becomes clear that the entire family is being duplicated by Martian beings composed of something like electrical energy.
