Cassie and Sam board the bus, but Sam remembers he left his teddy bear behind. They load the children onto buses right away and assure their parents that they’ll send the buses back to retrieve them as soon as possible. Vosch (Liev Schrieber) rides into the makeshift camp and promises to take the people to safety at a military base. His timing is impeccable, as that same day, a group of soldiers led by Col. Before settling into the camp, Cassie’s father forces her to take a gun and makes her promise to look after her younger brother no matter what. They find a small camp of people who seem to be thriving despite the presence of the aliens that everyone dubs “the Others”.

Cassie, her brother Sam (Zachary Arthur), and her father (Ron Livingston) finally choose to leave their home after burying their wife and mother. Then comes the third wave, an avian flu that kills many more, including Cassie’s mother. A massive earthquake hits, which causes tsunamis and flooding which kills many. But the survivors of the first wave adjust, until the second wave comes along. Airplanes fall from the sky, cars crawl to a stop, and the power never comes back on. The aliens send out an electromagnetic pulse that prevents human technology from working. Her family decides to stay put in hopes it will all blow over. As people begin to trickle out of the cities due to fear, Cassie finds her classes getting smaller and smaller. It starts with a large mothership floating over her Ohio town, and widespread confusion across the planet. However, her life is quickly turned upside down when an alien invasion begins. High schooler Cassie (Chloe Grace Moretz) leads a normal teenage life of soccer practice, parties, and crushing on boys.
