• A beauty queen with something to prove...
• A shopkeeper with something to hide...
• A shellshocked teenager set on revenge...
• And a world-weary veteran desperate to save them all. As time runs out, this ragtag crew must find a way to fight back against the alien forces massing around them. What are they? What do they want? How can they be stopped? If they fail, it won't just be Little Creek that is lost. It will be all of humanity.
