Review Summary
Strange things start happening at a high school. The teachers begin to act strangely and two students even witness a teacher murdered and brought back to life. They soon realize that aliens are taking over the school. Six very different students must now band together to save everyone before the aliens spread.
Jack Bauer, Resident Scholar

Most students think their teachers are a little wierd, but the professors at Herrington High, Ohio, seem to one group of students to be acting a little more strangely than usual. Two of the students witness their school nurse being murdered by two other teachers, but are confused when she appears fine the next day, albeit with something odd about her. All the teachers seem to be acting differently and as soon as you can say 'alien invasion' so are most of the students as well. The unaffected students' theory of alien infection is backed up by a scientist and they set out to destroy the root of the infection. However, they can no longer be sure who is an alien or not, even becoming suspicious of each other.
Kate Williams, Resident Scholar
