The story
A group of aliens disguised as humans arrive in St.
Petersburg, Florida from their home planet, Antarea.
Next door to the house the Antareans are renting is the Sunny Shores Rest Home, three of the residents of which—Ben Luckett, Arthur Selwyn, and Joe Finley—often trespass to swim in the pool.
