About this listen

In a future where Earth's survival hinges on a young woman's courage, Nira is caught in a fierce battle against alien invaders with a surprising appearance, masked by a semblance of familiarity. As the Phoenix Alliance, a rebel group dedicated to humanity's cause, faces its most challenging moment, Nira emerges as a symbol of hope.

In the wake of an unexpected and violent extraterrestrial invasion, Nira continues to resist an increasingly authoritarian government while trying to mend her damaged relationship with her father.

The Unexpected Arrival, through telling the protagonist's story of perseverance and redemption, delves into themes of sacrifice and survival, drawing parallels to historical and contemporary struggles while highlighting the resilience of the human spirit.
