There's not much for a couple of teenagers to do in the little rest stop-sized desert town of Arroyo Grande, so when Jynx and her buddy Austin discover a big disk-shaped hunk of metal in the wash, -- whether it's the real thing, or just a leftover Hollywood prop -- it's bound to be worth something to somebody. With nothing better planned for the summer, the pair manage to pull the scrap from the wash just before a strange collection of "tourists" arrive in town, intent on collecting it.
