While on a GPS treasure hunt in the Palatinate forest four teenagers come across an old US military radio tower station. Back in the days of the Cold War it was part of a secret military program that produced horrific side effects, but has long since abandoned. Until now, when the station is mysteriously powered up again.
The lives of five teenagers intersect in a Swiss children's hospital. Their names are Benji, Michi, Kevin, Jonas, and Sascha. Four of them have cancer, and one is awaiting his diagnosis. The five ward pirates support each other. Together, they manage to face their uncertain future with courage.
Life is pretty dull for farmer Earl and his brother Joel: Wake up, feed the cows, and sit on the porch until it's time to turn in. Until one night when a mysterious object from outer space crash-lands in their pasture killing their best bull and milking cow.
