There are the indie kids. They get to solve every problem-- the aliens, the monsters, the vampires, etc.. Those of us ordinary people pity them and envy them altogether. Just like Mikey, who just wants to live a normal life, take Henna to prom, enjoy his teenage years and so on. Then something happens. One night on the road, with Henna in his car, Mikey encounters a deer with glowing eyes. This time, the dangers of the indie world have returned, and the indie kids can't fight it alone. Mikey realizes there is more to life than normal--there is always a little of superior in all of us.
