Meadowvale, Cailfornia, June 9th,1970, three children are born at the height of a total eclipse. Due to the sun and moon blocking Saturn, which controls emotions, these children become heartless and uncaring, with no feelings of remorse over their awful offences. Ten years later in 1980, they begin to kill the adults around them and are able to escape detection because of their youthful and innocent facades. However, when a young boy and his older sister discover their crimes, they find themselves as the targets of the evil children. At the end, two of the evil children are arrested but the girl manages to escape. The film ends with the girl promising that she will be a good girl to her mother as they drive away, but the final scene reveals a truck driver who was murdered by the girl.
