It's been two years since the Great Incursion, an event that saw the entry of many alien species to our world. Some were friendly, some weren't. With those that weren't, wars resulted, leading to millions of deaths.

Darby 'Dar' Havens, eighteen, moves with his parents, both scientists who work for the government, to Sinley, Idaho, a tiny town. Once there, Dar finds out that his neighbors aren't from that state—or this galaxy.

He meets shape shifters, a mole lady, and Pimevar, a young woman with bat wings and a vampiric appearance. Dar befriends the new arrivals, and he realizes that they're friendly. He also meets the Uncontrollables who live down the block and don't mix with anyone.

Dar's relationship with Pimevar develops, but trouble comes in the form of government organizations who think the only good alien is a dead alien. It's time for Dar to make a choice. If he sides with the government, he'll live. If he sides with the aliens, chances are he won't see another sunrise.
