Aias Dalman is a 10-year-old child actor and screenwriter from Vancouver, BC, Canada. Scouted by Young Moviemakers Director Levente Mihalik while in a kindergarten science class, Aias spent the next 3 years working in Vancouver independent film both as an actor and writer. By the age of 7 his screenplays had already won awards, including Best Film Overall at the Toronto International Film Festival's (TIFF) Young Filmmakers Showcase for "The Fortune Teller," as well as Best Narrative at the Calgary International Film Festival for "Teen Chick." His most recent work, "Tough Guy," was screened at over 24 film festivals internationally in 2018 and continues to circulate at festivals in 2019. While his first loves are science and the independent film industry, in 2018 Aias decided to sign with Lucas Talent in Vancouver and has since been in a number of TV, Film, and Commercial productions around the city. While Aias loves acting theatrically, especially with the fascinating people he meets on set, he aspires to someday have his own "Bill Nye" style Science Show and ultimately to give his own TED Talk.

The inhabitants of the British village of Midwich suddenly fall unconscious, as does anyone entering the village. The military establishes a cordon around Midwich and sends in a man wearing a gas mask, but he, too, falls unconscious and is pulled back with rope. The man awakens and reports experiencing a cold sensation just before passing out. The pilot of a military reconnaissance plane is contacted and asked to investigate. When he flies below 5,000 feet, he loses consciousness and the plane crashes. A five-mile exclusion zone around the village is established for all aircraft. After approximately four hours, the villagers regain consciousness, and all are apparently unaffected. Two months later, all women and girls of child-bearing age in the affected area are discovered to be pregnant, sparking many accusations of both infidelity and extramarital sex. The accusations fade as the extraordinary nature of the pregnancies is discovered, with seven-month fetuses appearing after only five months. All the women give birth on the same day. Their children have an unusual appearance, including "arresting" eyes, odd scalp hair construction and colour (platinum blonde), and unusually narrow fingernails. As the children grow and develop at a rapid rate, it becomes clear they also have a powerful telepathic bond with one another. They can communicate with each other over great distances, and as one learns something, so do the others.
