What would you do if you knew something horrifying was going to happen that would lead to devastating consequences for billions of people and no one would believe a word you say when you tried to warn them? 4 young boys in the small town of Springbrook Gardens will face that impossible question.

It’s May 30th, the weekend of the 50th annual festival. A time for a celebration, with music, games, fireworks, food, and fun for all. For the boys, it should be the time of their lives. But all that will be threatened when they discover a UFO in the forest and learn aliens are planning a global attack starting in their town.

To make matters worse they find out the military will do everything necessary to prevent the attack including bringing down the mothership which will crush their small town. Everything and everyone they care for will be lost. Warning everyone should be straightforward.

But the kids known as the “Cry Wolves Gang” have a history of running around town making up silly stories. It’s gotten to the point where no one will believe them if they say the sky is blue. Now they have less than 24 hours to prevent a war between the military and aliens even if it means sacrificing their own lives.

Aliens vs. the military: whoever wins, the town loses.

Will they save their town and the ones they care for in time? Will the aliens succeed in attacking and what will the boys discover along the way about the origins of mankind that will astonish themselves and soon shock the world?
