It was just supposed to be a regular summer on the lake.
Tony Vance, Bart Jenkins, and Ella Rodriguez-three friends bound by small-town boredom and big-city dreams-were spending their last carefree days fishing on Clearwater Lake. But when a massive, silent saucer rips itself from the deepest channel, their perfect summer explodes into an interstellar nightmare.
Abducted in a terrifying beam of light and whisked aboard the alien vessel, the teens discover the invading Hydronauts aren't looking for conquest; they're looking for resources. Specifically, Earth's water, which they plan to harvest and transform into corrosive, toxic fuel.
Trapped light-years from home in a ship hurtling through the atmosphere, the three friends realize the only way out is to become the chaos the aliens never prepared for. With the clock ticking toward their demise, Ella, the brilliant mechanic, must use her mastery of wiring to fry the alien's communication hub, while Bart, the unstoppable athlete, prepares to drive a stolen, frozen Cargo Loader into the ship's engine core. Their mission culminates when Tony, the relentless leader, is forced to lure the heavily armored alien Commander into a final, deadly trap using nothing but a wrench and his own daring.
They managed to defeat the ship, but they couldn't stop the crash. Now, the colossal, damaged saucer rests at the bottom of their beloved lake, and the last surviving Hydronaut is attempting to activate a fail-safe that could call an entire fleet back to Earth.
They survived the abduction. Now they have to survive the war.
