This is the story of Number Four (known currently as John Smith)–a regular guy who is trying to survive high school, just your average teen.

But because of the deep magic of Lorien, the survivors can only be killed in sequence of the numbers they were given when they left home. Along with scouting Earth for their next planet domination, the Mogadorians won’t stop until they’ve wiped out the rest of the Lorien race. Scattered across the globe, they are desperately trying to blend in and stay alive, so they can eventually return home and rebuild. Stranded on earth after the destruction of their own planet, the 9 Lorien garde are just looking to survive, but their worst enemy, the Mogadorians (the whole reason they can’t go home) seem to be everywhere.
