Aliens in the Attic

In a sleepy Michigan suburb, the Pearson family trades their everyday routine for an over‑the‑top weekend in a three‑story vacation house perched on a wind‑swept hill. The house, with its creaking attic and sprawling backyard, feels like a character of its own—a perfect backdrop for mischief, mystery, and the kind of summer adventure that sticks in memory long after the season ends. From the moment the sky lights up with a meteor shower, the air hums with a sense of the extraordinary, hinting that this getaway will be anything but ordinary.

At the heart of the chaos are the kids: Hannah, the wide‑eyed seven‑year‑old whose curiosity is matched only by her imagination; Tom, a tech‑savvy teenager constantly tinkering with gadgets while trying to keep his grades afloat; Bethany, the confident older sister returning from a secret rendezvous that left her with a mischievous grin. Their extended crew includes Ricky, Bethany’s boyfriend who’s crashing the vacation, Stuart, the well‑meaning dad whose optimism fuels the family’s spirit, Uncle Nate with his laid‑back charm, Jake—Nate’s energetic son—Nana Rose, the beloved grandmother with stories from another era, and the twin troublemakers Art and Lee. Together they form a lively, if sometimes contradictory, tapestry of personalities that both clash and complement each other, setting the stage for collaborative hijinks.

When the kids discover a legion of miniature extraterrestrials nesting in the attic, the ordinary vacation turns into a covert battle of wits. These diminutive invaders have their own agenda, and they’ve singled out Ricky as the unwitting linchpin of a plan that could tip the world’s balance. The children quickly realize that, while the adults remain blissfully unaware, the fate of their family—and perhaps the planet—rests in their hands.

What follows is a rollicking mix of comedy, suspense, and inventive problem‑solving as the youngsters grapple with a threat that’s as tiny as it is terrifying. The tone balances slapstick moments with genuine heart, letting the audience revel in the kids’ ingenuity and the sheer absurdity of fighting an invasion from the comfort of an attic. With every secret hallway and improvised contraption, the story teases the promise of a showdown that will test the limits of youthful courage, all while keeping the humor and wonder front and center.
