The ship of the kind alien Zhdun crashed during a meteor shower and crashed in a forest near Abrau-Durso. Zhdun sends a distress signal and starts waiting for help, but here's the problem - his planet is 5 light years away and the wait would be long. Fortunately, an inquisitive boy Nikita and his whole family come to Zhdun's aid. Nikita and the Semyonov family will have to help the alien to repair the ship, avoid the intrigues of a local businessman swindler, who is eager to get hold of alien technology, and return home.
