Sorcha's lived in Seattle her entire life without any issues what so ever. So she finds it very strange when her mother suddenly decides it's time to move to the town she grew up in: sleepy and boring looking Agono, Utah. Very quickly, however, she realizes that not only the people aren't normal, there's a race known as the Kaiju, a race that humans where at war with until they suddenly disapeared fourteen years ago, living right underneath the surface of the desert nearby.
