Em uma pequena cidade da Inglaterra todas as pessoas, de forma inexplicável, desmaiam por algumas horas. Dois meses depois do acontecido todas as mulheres com possibilidade de ter filhos ficam grávidas. Quando as crianças nascem elas se revelam extremamente inteligentes e com traços desconhecidos da raça humana, sugerindo serem alienígenas.

Marcelle de Barthas is young French widow, who since her husband’s death some seven years previously, has lived a secluded life in her country house, with her four children. The eldest one, Emmy, is a beautiful and pure young girl of seventeen, who tentatively believes she has a calling to the religious life. The second child, Bertrand, aged fifteen, has been sent to England for an exchange holiday with a young English boy, Harry Fanning, and when the play opens, the French children are excitedly awaiting his arrival. Also living with the family is a French governess, and a tutor, Blaise Lebel. Lebel has a sombre power over the family, and it is the ‘intrusion’ of Harry that sets in motion in him a wave of resentment and fear.
