India is surging with global ambition. But beyond the luxury hotels surrounding Mumbai airport lies a makeshift slum, full of people with plans of their own. Zehrunisa and her son Abdul aim to recycle enough rubbish to fund a proper house. Sunil, twelve and stunted, wants to eat until he’s as tall as Kalu the thief. Asha seeks to steal government anti-poverty funds to turn herself into a ‘first-class person’, while her daughter Manju intends to become the slum’s first female graduate. But their schemes are fragile; global recession threatens the garbage trade, and another slum-dweller is about to make an accusation that will destroy herself and shatter the neighbourhood.

Южный Лондон, Брикстон. Ноябрь. Группа юных хулиганов под предводительством четырнадцатилетнего Мозеса не дает житья обитателям не слишком благополучного квартала новостроек. Однажды прямо на автостоянку, где тусуется шпана, приземляется маленькое злобное инопланетное существо. Раздраженный агрессией космического гостя главарь шайки убивает пришельца. Если бы он только знал, что вслед за галактическим первопроходцем «на районе» появятся куда более крупные, страшные и агрессивные чудовища. Теперь Мозесу и его бойцам предстоит нелегкая миссия — защитить родной квартал от кровожадной нечисти из межзвездных глубин.
