Henry Richardson

In the winter of 1183, a royal family prepares for a joyous Christmas holiday reunion of scheming, conniving and deceit. King Henry II summons his cunning prison-bound wife to his side as he prepares to announce the succession of the throne to one of his double-crossing three sons, none of whom are qualified to rule the monarchy.

A pair of sisters, along with a journalist and a UN agent, investigate the decapitations of mountain climbers and researchers in the Swiss Alps. They discover the killings are caused by creatures from outer space.
