Riko lives with his grandmother in a rural town of New Zealand. He's habitually idle most days, hanging with his mates and causing trouble - until one day while out in the woods he stumbles across two aliens standing by a UFO. Unsure of his first encounter, he runs, the Aliens start to follow him and blend in with the humans. Meanwhile, a narcotic journalist Peter Macintosh is also hot on the tail of the Aliens and now Rico. Peter kidnaps Rico and interrogates him for more information about the Aliens.
