For Joshua Plofhard, a teenage good samaritan of Los Angeles, life is good. Well-known and well-liked by the city, loved by his friends, and adored by his new girlfriend, Joshua had it all. But when he becomes the victim of a freak mugging, a shocking secret about him is revealed, triggering a chain reaction of events that will forever change his life.
When it is discovered that Joshua carries the genes of a dying alien species in his body, life for him is turned upside-down. Now an outcast, rejected by the city that once welcomed him with open arms, Joshua is emotionally shattered by the events that have taken their toll upon him. With only his mother Alicia, friends Peter Christjes, Eric Blonfly, Rick Warris, girlfriend Kimberly Derth, and several others who come to sympathize with his plight, Joshua begins to pick up the pieces of his life.
But Joshua's problems are only beginning. Not only has Patrick Urtoma, a government agent been sent to investigate this alien teenager, but Veranda Oltzon, a candidate in the upcoming mayor election is exploiting the discrimination Joshua suffers to rally the public to her side. Also not helping is a mysterious serial killer who has now marked Joshua for death, driven by extreme prejudice against people like him.
As the countdown to his nineteenth birthday approaches, the day when the aliens return to reclaim what they created, Joshua learns many lessons about self-acceptance, friendship, compassion, loyalty, love, and how being different makes one unique. Together, he and his friends shall stand together againce the prejudice of an entire city and plea for tolerace towards all individuals, no matter who they are.
