America in 1960 is undergoing a great sea change. Cultural comfort is being challenged by an unpredictable world rattled by a Communist expansion in Southeast Asia. Tradition is being mocked by the intelligentsia, T. S. Eliot and the beatniks. John F. Kennedy, and his youthful Camelot, will soon become the source of a new power - and a new prestige. It is a world that will soon say goodbye to Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe. It is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius. And love will rule the stars. Misfits is the story of America's burgeoning youth movement at the beginning of a turbulent decade. It is the story of the Dayton High School summer dance and the end of the innocence. It is the story of how this galactic shift gains traction in the most unlikely of places - the desert of the American Southwest. Misfits is about adolescent angst, rage and confusion. It is about a world slowly spinning out of control. It is about a world under quiet observation by a benign race of extraterrestrials floating through the skies in nearby Area 51. It is a story about growing up - and about standing down the unfairness and bigotry that permeates the galaxy we call home. But what do I know? I'm just the Ol' Coot. Hang on, dear earthlings, for we shall surely fly!
