   Summary

   One calm spring day, the stars exploded.

   A large-scale alien invasion is quick to follow, forcing local conman Oscar Elliott to take shelter in an abandoned house.
   Abandoned aside from nine-year-old Riley, that is. And when Oscar pulls in scientist Scott Doyle off the streets, they resolve to do their best to raise the boy they've gotten trapped with.
   What could possibly go wrong?
