Star-Crossed

When Emery was just six, an alien ship crash-landed in her quiet hometown. The intentions of these extraterrestrial visitors, known as the Atrians, were irrelevant as a fierce battle ensued, with humans vying for dominance over their new adversaries. Amidst the chaos, Roman, a young Atrian boy of the same age, stumbled upon a shed behind Emery’s house. There, she shielded him from danger, offering him food, solace, and friendship. A decade later, the Atrians have adapted to life on Earth but remain confined within a heavily-secured area called the Sector, isolated from humans. For the first time, a group of Atrian teenagers is set to attend a suburban human high school, aiming to explore the possibility of human-alien coexistence. Emery and Roman cross paths once more in an educational environment and society filled with suspicion towards the Atrians. As the world around them seethes with hostility and bias, their connection grows ever stronger and increasingly perilous.
