Itsy Levan is devastated by her parents decision to leave the city and buy a fixer upper in the middle of nowhere. Her life seems over until she meets her space-obsessed neighbor Calvin Kipler who believes his parents were abducted by aliens ten years ago on the night Jesper's comet was seen. Itsy sees this as a chance to help her get into a New York City journalism program by writing an exposé on Calvin but ends up discovering much more than what's on the other end of the comet's tail.
