In rural Kansas, Tori and Kyle Breyer have longed for a child but are unable to conceive. One night, a meteor crashes near their farm, and within it, they discover an infant boy. The couple adopts the child, naming him Brandon, and raises him as their own. As Brandon grows, he exhibits extraordinary intelligence and strength, but Tori and Kyle keep the truth of his alien origin hidden from him. Their life appears to be idyllic and loving, though overshadowed by the mystery of Brandon's arrival.

On the cusp of adolescence, Brandon begins to experience changes that extend beyond typical teenage angst. He starts to exhibit signs of aggressive and sinister behavior, puzzling those around him. Objects around the house and farm inexplicably malfunction, and Brandon seems to be drawn to the barn where he was found. Tori and Kyle struggle to understand their son's increasingly disturbing actions, holding onto the hope that the love and values they've instilled in him will prevail. Meanwhile, Brandon's connection to the meteor and his true nature becomes harder to contain, threatening to unravel the Breyers' lives and the safety of their community.
