As the planet is on the brink of World War III, cybersecurity specialist Dr. Daniel Kellner has stolen material from his employer, a secretive U.S. government contractor known as the Wardex Corporation. Kellner's theft includes an artifact of extraterrestrial technology, documents, and hard drives containing videos of extraterrestrial contact dating to the Roswell incident. When cornered by Wardex CEO Noah Scanlon, Kellner threatens him with the extraterrestrial device and escapes with his girlfriend, Jane Blankenship; they hide at her former convent.
In Kansas City, NBC meteorologist Margaret Fairchild is preparing for work when a cardinal flies into her home. The incident stimulates a psychic ability in Margaret to intuit people's thoughts and speak in languages she has never learned.
During a live weather broadcast, Margaret unexpectedly begins speaking in an unknown language. Footage of the broadcast goes viral and draws the attention of Wardex, which identifies the language as extraterrestrial. After being examined at a hospital, Margaret flees Wardex agents who are posing as the FBI.
Daniel explains to Jane that Wardex has been experimenting on extraterrestrial captives and reverse engineering their technology; he is part of a plot to reveal the truth. When he sees the clip of Margaret speaking the extraterrestrial language, he understands what she said. Scanlon uses one of the extraterrestrial devices to telepathically force Jane to attack Daniel and later track them to a motel.
Before Daniel is captured, he helps Jane escape with the extraterrestrial device. Margaret's psychic ability allows her to locate Daniel at a black site. The two escape when Margaret empathically convinces their captors to let them go. One of Scanlon's unaffected men, Casper Boyd, rams their car into the side of a passing freight train; Daniel pulls Margaret out in time for them to climb onto the train.
Margaret and Daniel finally connect with Hugo Wakefield, who leads a team of former Wardex employees intent on disclosing evidence of extraterrestrials to the world. They have reconstructed Margaret's childhood home in order to recover suppressed memories. When they were ten, she and Daniel were simultaneously abducted by extraterrestrials and given complementary powers; the extraterrestrials disguise themselves as harmless animals in order to observe them.
Hugo's team, along with Margaret and Daniel, enter Margaret's television station to broadcast the truth. Scanlon's team turns off the power, but Jane arrives and gives her device to Margaret, who uses it to restore the power. Defeated, Scanlon decides to stop hiding the truth and watches as Margaret announces "Disclosure Day" to the world.
Daniel uploads all of the stolen videos to a satellite feed. A blindsided national anchorwoman attempts to narrate the footage as the stunned world stops to watch evidence of extraterrestrial life; even the impending war seems to halt. Hugo brings one of the extraterrestrials he secreted out of Wardex into the studio. The extraterrestrial whispers to Daniel, who relays the message to Margaret. She then returns to the camera and repeats the message, which she begins by saying "Listen."
