A Florida town survives a hurricane relatively unscathed--until people who disappeared during the storm turn up in the water, faintly changed. (Body snatching again: abstraction of sleeper-cell fears or easy way to cut costs on prosthetics?) Drawn into the mystery is park ranger Russell Varon (Eddie Cibrian), whose ex-wife Mariel (Kari Matchett) is one of the changelings...
