When Zoey and Kiki, two irrepressible girls from another galaxy and world called Lumina become castaways in the quiet, Australian seaside town of Lightning Point after losing their spaceship, they recruit local girl Amber to keep them undercover. But the whole town is abuzz with the sightings of U.F.O.s, the girls soon realize that they may not be the first intergalactic visitors on planet Earth. When the time comes, can they say farewell to a world as wonderful and beautiful as their own home world Lumina?
When Zoey and Kiki, two irrepressible girls from another galaxy and world called Lumina, land in Lightning Point, their dreams of surfing the waves of Earth's oceans and seas have finally come true. As soon as their spaceship lands, they head to the beach where they meet Amber, a local teenage girl teaching a surf class. Zoey and Kiki convince her to give them a beginner's lesson, but when Zoey borrows Madison's board and surfs the back break, Amber is suspicious.
With their spaceship obliterated and no other way of getting home to Lumina, Kiki and Zoey settle into the teenage world of Lightning Point at Amber's house. Amber's mother, Olivia Mitchell is surprised by the girls' sudden appearance, but is glad Amber finally has some company. Amber hopes Kiki and Zoey can keep a low profile, but her dreams are dashed when local surf king Brandon takes quite a romantic interest in Zoey and invites her to a barbecue at the request of his girlfriend Madison.
