When Emery was 6 years old, an alien spacecraft crash-landed in her small town. A fierce battle erupted as humans fought for control over their new rivals, an alien species called the Atrians. In the midst of the conflict, Roman, a 6-year-old Atrian boy, found his way to a shed behind Emery's house, where she protected him from harm.

Ten years later, their childhood bond is quickly rekindled -- in a school and a society that distrusts everything about the Atrians, Emery and Roman have found each other again.
