Giant seed pods land in the fields outside a small California town...A young doctor begins treating children whose parents say there is something "off" with their child...Soon adults appear to be passive and conformist. The doctor encounters a ripening pod...The pods are ripening into clones of the population while it sleeps. Soon the authorities are herding people and forcing them to take a pod in order to join them in passive bliss. The doctor rebels against the authorities...He wants to remain an individual.
