Sixteen-year-old Haley is in her last year of high school, and she likes to think she's just a normal girl, plagued with all the normal teenage problems. But then disaster strikes: she comes down with the chickenpox and no one will speak to her. Worse still, her hippie dad is in trouble with the law.
Dex Pratt's life has been turned upside down: his parents have divorced, his mother has remarried, and his father attempts suicide and fails. Dex returns to their small town to care for him, but he's not prepared for his father’s grow-op or his rotting rented house. Unable to cope, Dex begins smoking himself into a state of surrealism. He begins to lose touch with what is real and what he is imagining - and then there are the aliens and the girl-of-his-dreams and the crop circle.
