A suburban neighborhood watch group is formed by a handful of local men after a security guard is murdered. What begins as an excuse for them to hang out and escape their domestic lives quickly turns serious when they uncover an alien invasion plot unfolding in their quiet town. They become the unlikely and unprepared last line of defense against the extraterrestrial threat.
