The ship of the kind alien Zhdun crashed during a meteor shower and fell in the forest near Abrau-Dyurso. Zhdun sends a distress signal and begins to wait for help, but here's the problem - his planet is 5 light years away and he would have to wait a long time. Fortunately, an inquisitive boy Nikita and his entire family come to Zhdun's aid. Nikita and the Semenov family must help the alien repair the ship, avoid the machinations of a local swindler-businessman who passionately dreams of taking possession of alien technology, and return home.
