Seventeen-year old pizza delivery boy Joe Smith lives a simple life - he has a bike, a job, and a crush on a girl. That's about it. He doesn't have dreams beyond working on the family farm and continuing to live in the same rural community in which he was born. Until one night when everything changed. After finishing his shift at the pizzeria, he heads home, riding his bike down a lonesome stretch of highway. Guided by the dim glow from the moonlight and a small light affixed to his helmet, he battles fatigue as he struggles to peddle the long distance home. When a strange object flies overhead fast and low, and crashes into a neighbour's cornfield, Joe is quick to investigate. Thinking it was a small plane or a downed satellite, Joe rushes to the scene of the crash. What he discovers is far beyond anything he has ever seen or even imagined before. The strange craft is definitely not from this planet. Hiding among the tall stalks of corn, Joe watches with caution as a mysterious being crawls out from the rubble.

Faith Mitchell was never confident. She was happy to blend into the background, much to the protest of her friends. At 16, her life was a normal teenage cliche. She was in love with Jace, the obnoxious player who she couldn't have, and her biggest worry was whether or not he would finally come to his senses and see that she really was the one for him. That is until she is kidnapped and recruited by a secret agency of assassins. She is torn away from her normal teenage life and thrown into a world of guns, knifes and criminals. The agency mold her into the perfect killing machine, and at 19 she is no longer the shy girl that was snatched away from her uncomplicated life, but a ruthless killer who will stop at nothing to complete whatever mission she is on. Then, the agency has a new mission which involves Faith returning to her hometown, and facing her friends, family and the very boy who broke her heart just before it turned into stone. What will happen once Faith comes face to face with Jace? Will the obnoxious player be able to reach out and get the old Faith back without pressing any of her wrong buttons, considering that the shy girl he once knew now has a gun.
