The US is hit by a wave of nuclear attacks. Mayday receives a intergalactic distress call that leads her to Spacerock. Mayday's organs start to fail and her mother brings back her to Spacerock to give to the aliens so they can save her.

During the 1980s the US is hit by a wave of nuclear attacks, and after the fallout those who remain pretend like everything is normal even though they are all experiencing radiation poisoning. A young girl named Mayday tries to make contact on a series of ham radios with her father who is in space on a shuttle mission. Instead of making contact she receives a intergalactic distress call from space that leads her on a journey to Spacerock, the land where Area 51 once was. Mayday is exposed to severe levels of radiation and within days all of her organs start to fail. Knowing that medical treatment won't help her mother Wendy brings her back to Spacerock to give her to the aliens in hopes that they may be able to save her.—Richard Bakewell
