Rain May doesn't want to move to the country with her mother. She hopes their house won't sell. But it does - to a man in a pinstripe suit and a woman wearing bright lipstick. Rain finds herself renovating her grandmother's old house in the country and creating a new life with Maggie. This includes meeting Star Trek fan and highly intelligent eleven-year-old Captain Daniel from next door who has "maintained surveillance" on Rain's new house for years and is apprehensive about the arrival of new aliens. So begins a unique friendship that is tested against all odds as Rain finds strength to cope with her new life, her relationship with her now-absent father and his new partner, and as Daniel struggles to face school bullying and his often uncomfortable relationship with his own parents.Rain May doesn't want to move to the country with her mother.
