Lisa and Jack are teenagers, but they are about to become adults; Lisa is pregnant, and neither of them can wait for the baby to arrive and their lives to start. But then Lisa vanishes -- into thin air. Jack panics until she comes back, but then she disappears again, and then it turns out that everyone is dematerializing, all over planet people are disappearing.
Quickly, the only people left in the world are Jack and his heavily pregnant friend Stacy. Jack adjusts to the silent and primitive world; but for Stacy, it begins to turn into a nightmare. And when the vanished start to return, Jack has to learn how complex adult relationships are.
