In a small coastal town, a mysterious event causes everyone within its boundaries to fall unconscious simultaneously. When the townspeople awaken, they discover that ten women are inexplicably pregnant. The women all give birth on the same day to eerily calm, platinum blonde children who grow at an accelerated rate and display extraordinary intelligence and telepathic abilities. These children, led by the particularly cunning David, form a tight-knit group, increasingly exuding an unsettling sense of superiority over the adults.

As the children’s powers become more apparent, it becomes clear that they can exert control over people's minds, manipulating them in dangerous ways. The local doctor and a government scientist team up to uncover the origin of the children and their sinister potential. Tensions rise as the townspeople become increasingly fearful of the emotionless offspring, leading to tragic confrontations. The story builds toward a climactic struggle, testing the limits of human resistance against an almost invincible force.
