At Rim of the World summer camp, four misfit teenagers (sound familiar Stranger Things fans?) – Alex, Dariush, ZhenZhen, and Gabriel – are looking forward to some classic camp experiences: perhaps roasting marshmallows, making new friends, and attempting to conquer the terrifying world of social interactions. But, you know, the universe had other plans. Like, alien-invasion kind of plans.
When these extraterrestrial party crashers decide to rain on their summer parade, our unlikely group of heroes stumbles upon the key to stopping the invasion.
They find an artifact that everyone, including a NASA astronaut and the invaders, seems to want. With no adults around who aren’t panicking, zombified, or worse, it’s up to these kids to travel through disaster-stricken California, fend off the alien baddies, and save the day.
