The Survivors:
Lynda Thomas and her son, Rob, were deep in the ground when the alien's gas swept over the area. A fall down a steep bluff into an old deserted mine had saved their lives. They emerge from the mine to discover the death of friends and family. In anguish, they leave their home in hopes of finding other survivors.
In a small town of Boonesville, Iowa they meet up with three senior citizens from a retirement village. Together, the group begins to find young children alive and well, although bewildered and frightened. Not knowing how many children are left alive, Lynda and the other survivors are frantic to find all the children before they perish from neglect.
Evil Lurks close by:
The Metronian's systemic gas merged with an experimental drug that was being used on twelve life-term prisoners. The result of this mix transformed the prisoners into deadly creatures with enormous strength. The combined chemicals kept their brains alive and functioning while their bodies slowly decayed. They would eventually cease to exist, but will it be soon enough for the other survivors?
