On planet Delphi, a secret government experiment leads to babies born with supernatural powers. As they grow older, their powers and abilities become stronger. Government leaders, fearing their secret will be discovered soon, decide to take the children away from their parents. But five rogue families flee Delphi taking their children to begin a new life on Earth in 1947.

As federal authorities close in, volunteers for SIEL (Search for Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life) disguise the aliens as humans giving them new Earth names, identities, and lives.
Seventy-five years later, an alien granddaughter, Astara Spurlock, researches her family roots for a class project. Finding her search stymied, Astara emails the Federal Witness Protection Program for help. Then her unusual DNA test results send shock waves from Earth to the planet Delphi, placing the Spurlock family in grave danger. Will anyone be able to save the aliens Spurlock?
