An African American named James Baxter is acting as an investigator for a senate subcommittee, and is preparing to recommend the appointment of another black man, Arnold Warren, to an important post in the space program. However, when David Vincent sees that Warren’s palms are also black, he realises that the man is actually an alien. When he attempts to warn Baxter, the investigator finds himself torn between loyalty to his office and loyalty to his race - and soon finds himself branded as a racist…
