When a mysterious spaceship appears above Cambria, Zoe remains skeptical that it’s anything but an elaborate hoax. By the time the first spaceship is joined by two others, Zoe reluctantly admits that Earth has been invaded, even though it’s a pretty lame invasion: the aliens look remarkably human and keep to themselves. From what reporters are able to learn about them, they seem incredibly arrogant and boring anyway.

After meeting Peyton, one of Earth’s newest residents, Zoe feels an immediate attraction to him although she is reluctant to become involved with someone who isn’t even human. But she soon discovers that these aliens are far more dangerous than they’ve led everyone to believe, and the secrets they are hiding may signal the destruction of her entire planet.

The last thing he needs is to drive away from a party and his pain and T-bone another car. But when he rescues the driver of the other car, Maxie Cottrill, he thinks she's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen. Grateful that Maxie only suffered a broken ankle, Blaine finds he's more than happy to take an alternate punishment dreamed up by the local authorities -- to assist Maxie at the local library where she works. He feels he's falling for her, but doesn't know if he can push past her resentment and the designs of her "Larry Lawsuit" father to make the Tannahills pay up.

As Blaine and Maxie get to know each other better, their mutual respect and feelings for each other grows. But they don't know if their dreams of romantic redemption will turn into nightmares when law and love collide.
