In the year 2089, an alien race stalks the land in towering machines known as Tripods.

Will Parker, desperate to escape this ritual, leaves the village with his cousin, Henry and attempts to link up with the human resistance movement.

Comedy featuring interweaving stories of seven households caught up in a property chain on moving day, each one dependent on the other.
