Teenagers on lovers lane see a flying saucer crash in the nearby woods. One couple accidentally runs over one of the aliens, but the police don't believe them. They go back for evidence but only end up with a disembodied hand in a stolen police car. Meanwhile, other aliens are preying on helpless teens by injecting them with alcohol through needles which come out of their fingers. The teens band together to fight them with bright lights, the same weakness of ET and Gremlins. It all takes place on one long night which leads to some occasional atmospheric moments, but also makes things rather hard to see.
