GIRL (quiet under music) : Why am I talking? EXT DARK COUNTRY NIGHT Bus stops. Children get out. Look around. Ominous music is ominous.Children walk forwards as a group. Blond boy hangs back. Bright light! Very bright, ahead of them. They stop and look. Start walking again. Leave blond boy behind. Blond boy walks forwards, looks back, light behind him. Long shot : One adult figure stands in front of the bus, the light glows ahead and the children walk into it. Light flares.

All right, I'll just leave you there. Gwen at the cash point grins. MOTHER : Is that what you want? If I just leave you? In the middle of town? FATHER : Suzette! Suzette. We're going to be late
SUMMARY:
An ordinary day becomes a world of terror as every single child in the world stops. A message is sent to the governments of Earth: 'We are coming'. As a trap closes around Captain Jack, sins of the past return, as long-forgotten events from 1965 threaten to reveal an awful truth.
