Yuka Mitamura (Hiroko Yakushimaru) is a normal shy middle school student that has psychic powers. When a new student with similar powers begins to show her skills by stealing the student government election, transforming their school into a conformist, almost fascistic staging area for an alien takeover of the Earth while coercing her classmates into going along. Discovering her own latent telekinetic abilities, Yuko teams up with Koji, her budding boyfriend from the kendo club, to fight off the invaders.
