Alex Quinn, a slightly anti-social teenage prodigy, is just trying to live a normal life with a group of loyal friends and a love interest. Although living in the United States during World War III makes life anything but ordinary.  

One night, strange missiles destroy Alex’s home city of San Francisco, but mysteriously leave its inhabitants alive and unscathed. Alex loses his parents in the chaos and finds himself a captive in a child slavery ring. The men in charge soon capture Alex’s friends, but Alex orchestrates a plan that allows them all to escape. 

However, the teenagers quickly discover that they are not yet free from harm. Alex and his friends uncover a government conspiracy that threatens the people of the entire world -- and it is up to the little gang to save them all.
