Despite causing immense damage, the mysterious "Trashteroids" allow for exciting advancements in technology. Panic spreads as the children with DNA affected by the alien flu, nicknamed "Brids," show signs of superhuman abilities.

A powerful quantum supercomputer is built based on found alien blueprints, but the alien's motives are questioned when the human children with Alien DNA, called Brids, can connect to it using only their thoughts.

As more Brids connect to the quantum computer, they grow more powerful and the computer becomes self-aware. The combined brainpower is able to calculate the future, but some will use that information toward evil ends.

Humans unlock the ability to genetically design their own Brid babies and join the Brids' hive mind, causing a panic that humans will soon become obsolete. The self-aware quantum computer makes its own survival top priority.

When direct assaults on the quantum computer fail, the US military tries to destroy the hybrid network by targeting the Brids. Meanwhile, the computer retrieves a mysterious box from the alien space trash orbiting Earth.
