Midwich is a sleepy commuter town and a great place to bring up children. One evening, some of its inhabitants fall unconscious. Humans, animals, pass out without warning, without reason. For twelve hours no one can get into the Blackout Zone, and no one knows what's happening inside. Then suddenly everything returns to normal. But not quite. For something truly inexplicable has happened. Every woman of child-bearing age has fallen pregnant. The spawn of these pregnancies are The Midwich Cuckoos, a group of chillingly unusual "children". They will change this community forever, dividing loyalties, threatening lives both within the town and beyond and require a terrifying sacrifice in order to prevent them causing catastrophe.
