"Maple Street, Anytown, U.S.A. A tree-lined street filled with white picket fences, neighborhood barbecues and children's laughter...until late on Saturday afternoon. After a sudden flash of light and a rumbling in the sky, Maple Street loses all of its power—cars, lights, telephones, appliances. The neighbors come to the conclusion it was just a meteor, but 8 year-old Tommy, a sci-fi buff, says he knows the real cause...aliens disguised as humans have infiltrated Maple Street and now they're taking over."
