The Midwich Cuckoos
米德威奇，一个上班族居住的英格兰小镇，自由开明、渴求进步，由各种小家庭和富人街组成。这里没有太多的事情发生，其中也有着充分的理由。直到夏日某一天的黄昏时分，小镇一个宁静的区域陷入了恐慌。人们毫无预兆、毫无理由地晕倒，任何试图进入该区域的人也会遭遇同样的情况。没有人明白这是为什么。当神秘的停电解除后，被这次事件影响的人们逐渐回归正常生活，除了该区域内的每一位育龄女性突然莫名其妙怀孕了。随着消息传开，局面越来越紧张，经历了这种情感震荡的人们需要帮助，而天才心理治疗师Susannah Zellaby医生担起了这个责任。Susannah的女儿Cassie已经怀孕，她对于这一现象背后的黑手深感担忧。当地警官高级督察Paul Kirby负责维持秩序，但人们不知道的是，一股骇人力量正在小镇那些安逸的街道上集结。这些孩子，可能是潜在的寄生虫，在家人关爱下茁壮成长。这些孩子是谁？他们想要什么？
May 6th begins like any other day in Midwich. But as dusk falls, the lives of its residents are profoundly altered forever. As family members fight to save their loved ones from an unknown fate, a community is forged in a way nobody thought possible.
Midwich is recovering from the blackout when a shocking discovery is made: every woman of child-bearing age inside the zone on May 6th has fallen pregnant. But of graver concern to Dr Susannah Zellaby is the unnerving responses of the pregnant women.
Three years after the blackout. The children are entering the second phase of their development. Susannah notices changes in their behaviour and makes a terrifying discovery. Her worst fears are realised when a forgotten mother emerges.
Whilst investigating Amrita's disappearance, Paul's own attachment to Nathan is challenged. Susannah tries to understand the cause of the children's violent instincts. The children now see Susannah as a threat and use their powers to neutralise her.
With Susannah ostracised, the children's hold on Midwich strengthens. When Paul awakens to the children's true nature, he pleads with Susannah to try to forge a truce with them. Meanwhile Zoe and Sam are galvanised into action by another miracle.
Two years later. The children go behind Susannah's back to express their desire to leave Midwich and Susannah suspects ulterior motives at work. Meanwhile, tragedy strikes one of the families. Paul and Susannah work together to uncover the truth.
After more bloodshed, the children plan to leave. Susannah volunteers to go with them and strives to get Cassie to safety. It is evident now that they must be stopped. And there's no easy way out.
