Fate brings Toby and his family to Black Falls, New York, where the skies are clear and the future is bright. Except at their new home. There is something off about 23 Ripley Avenue.

I was in my garage when the space elves addressed the whole world. They didn't call themselves space elves, of course.

After all, cooperation was vital to the survival of both our species.
