In a small cottage over looking downtown Los Angeles, Mateo and his mother, Nadia, have made a good life in the years since Mateo’s father died serving with the Marines overseas. The summer holiday promises to unfold with its usual good weather and balmy skies. Mateo is a good boy whose only problem is a handful of local bullies whom he needs to out-run if he happens to stumble over them when playing in the neighborhood.

But Mateo has an evil twin, an exact duplicate named Mazz who comes from a planet on the other side of the galaxy where he’s been kicked out of a dozen schools and is the despair of his father and an entire kingdom. Mazz arrives joyriding in his father’s stolen space ship. He’s run away from a last chance military school, kidnapped his guards and used the Amulet of Power, an ancient, sacred icon of religious belief among his people, to turn those guards into creatures no bigger than his thumb.

Mazz hopes he can hide on earth using his twin, Mateo, as the perfect cover. But while Mazz is soon fascinated by earth and its peculiar customs, most especially Mateo’s beautiful mother, Mateo is less than pleased with the visit. Mazz and his power amulet are great to have when the local bullies are chasing you. And flying high above the skyscrapers of Los Angeles is a kid’s dream, but Mazz’s every adventure swiftly turns into a nightmarish escapade of police chases, black eyes and broken windows.

Mazz has not only thrown Mateo’s quiet, happy life into complete chaos, but Mateo is being blamed for every misadventure. Who’s ever going to believe a boy who says that all his troubles are caused by an evil twin from outer space?

And then, the amulet is stolen. Without its power, Mazz has to ask Mateo to help him get it back. Mateo agrees to help and for the first time in his life he breaks all the rules. He and Mazz embark on a hair-raising chase to find the amulet before the thieves can figure out its power.

In the end Mazz and Mateo find the amulet and punish the thieves, but more importantly, the boys becomes fast friends who have learned something from each other. Mazz learns that giving is as important as receiving and Mateo understand that sometimes you have to stand up for what’s right.
