"It's the summer of 1994 in suburban Chicago: Forrest Gump is still in theaters, teens are reeling from the recent death of Kurt Cobain, and you can enter a sweepstakes for a spaceship from Jupiter to land in your backyard. Welcome to Margaret Wappler's slightly altered alternative '90s. Everything's pretty much as you remember it, except for the aliens."--

It's the summer of 1994 in suburban Chicago, and you can enter a sweepstakes for a spaceship from Jupiter to land in your backyard. According to the company facilitating the visits, the spaceship is 100 percent non-toxic. Ernest Allen's family won, but as his panic increases, so do his questions: What are the effects of longterm exposure to the saucer, and why is it really here? His wife Cynthia and their children, Alison and Gabe, are less concerned with the saucer, and more worried about his growing paranoia.
