A government agent investigates the disappearances of four young supermen who all originated from the same small county in Maryland. All have vanished but one, Ethan, the only one who wasn't hounded out of Spider County by suspicious locals but who is currently held on trumped-up murder charges. The spooks believe the boys had the same space alien father, though each was born to a different mother. Indeed, Ethan's extraterrestrial father arrives to prevent his legalized execution.
