Synopsis
Despite not having Saturday detention, 17-year-old Grover Jones attends anyway just to be near the girl of his dreams, fellow classmate, Violet Adams. When the town of Santo Domingo is invaded by evil space aliens, commaded by evil warlord, Lord Dreylock, they find themselves trapped in the school along with his younger sister Mary, basketball player Lashawn Deveraux, skateboarder, Noodle Nelson, Lashawn's cheerleader girlfriend Zoe Parker, bully Diesel Turner, computer whiz geek Barrett McIntyre, class president hopeful, Natalie Callaway, and sisters Molly and Cleo Costello (Molly is also an cheerleader, while Cleo is an rebellious aspiring filmmaker) while the other students venture outside to try and find any survivors. When the school's coach is ordered to surrender by Dreylock's second-in-command, Praxis, he refuses to surrender, causing Praxis to fatally shoot him with a alien rifle, as a reminder of what happens when the adults do not surrender. The coach's brutal death has left the students shocked and horrified. At the end of the episode, one of the students who ventured outside, Lyle, re-enters the school, with a blast wound to his chest. When Grover questions him, Lyle replies: "The adults are gone, we're on our own!" Lyle dies from his injury and the rest of the students are left to wonder of what would happen next.
