Description: On Guy Fawkes Night, trainee nurse Samantha Adams is mugged by a gang of teenage hoodlums: Pest, Dennis, Jerome, Biggz, and their leader, Moses. As they search for valuables in a nearby car damaged by a fallen meteorite, Moses is scratched by a small alien creature. The gang chases and kills the creature, hoping to gain fame and fortune. They take the dead alien to their acquaintance, cannabis dealer Ron, and his boss, Hi-Hatz, a petty gang leader.
More objects fall from the sky, and the gang arms themselves to confront the new threat. However, they discover these aliens are much larger and more dangerous. While fleeing, Moses is arrested by the police, accompanied by Samantha. The aliens attack, killing the officers and trapping Samantha and Moses in a van. Dennis rescues them but crashes into Hi-Hatz’s car, leading to a confrontation between the gangs and the aliens.
The group seeks refuge in Wyndham Tower, a high-rise building, but the aliens continue their assault. Biggz is forced to hide, and Pest is bitten in the leg. Samantha, who lives in the building, helps treat Pest’s injury. When an alien attacks, Moses kills it with a samurai sword, convincing Samantha to join their fight.
The gang moves upstairs to a flat owned by Tia, Dimples, Dionna, and Gloria, believing the security gate will protect them. However, the aliens smash through the windows, killing Dennis. The girls blame the gang for the attacks and force them out of the flat. The group must now find another way to survive the relentless alien threat.
