A boy and his dad go to live in a house on a bridge after his granddad dies (mysteriously). The dad is meant to collect tolls to maintain the bridge and keep it open, but instead lets the money get stolen/disappear somehow. The dad is taken away.
Strange beings contact the boy to tell him it's vital that the bridge is kept open, his dad is a traitor to an ancient cause, and it's now up to him to fix the bridge. The boy befriends 2 others - a weird home-schooled girl whose mother dresses her as a Victorian doll, and a geeky younger boy from school, and a very cool but oddly unpopular older boy who tells him he's also on the mission to keep the bridge open...so that that alien (or magical) beings can come to Earth and make everything all better.
The boy's other friends don't like the cool kid, but he maintains the friendship anyway and begins rebuilding the magical bridge to help the benevolent alien/magical beings.
But then... he realizes he is on the wrong side, that the beings are evil and that his dad was trying to destroy the bridge to keep them out. He now has to try to pretend to be helping the aliens and the evil cool boy, while actually helping his friends the girl and geek to stop the aliens invading.
