Sture Lundblad was a Swedish volunteer fighter in the Spanish civil war. Sture is now dead. His son Michael has inherited a house in Spain and decides to follow the trail of his father.

Bizarre things start happening in the little New Mexico town where UFOs were spotted in 1947. Cut to 1999, when a cute high-school student saves the life of a teenage waitress. Surrounded by cliques of clever, angst-filled classmates, the two form a bond that threatens the survival of a secret universe involving superhuman powers, a yen for hot sauce and an alien gene pool.
