Takes place in the sleepy New Mexico town where a UFO supposedly crash-landed in 1947. We meet best friends Liz and Maria, who juggle their high school studies with work in the Crashdown Cafe. Critically wounded in a shooting, Liz is miraculously healed by Max, a fellow student and secret admirer. He, his sister Isabel, and friend Michael are somehow different from the town's other teens: they are the progeny of the aliens who crash-landed in Roswell,...

Max, a seventh grader, is mercilessly picked on by his school's bullies and by his principal. When his parents inform Max that they're moving at the end of the week, he takes the opportunity to exact several forms of creative revenge on his many tormenters. When it subsequently turns out that the Keebles aren't leaving town after all, little Max is left to the mercy of those he's just humiliated.
