Middle school student Maya Andersen and her family move to Oregon, where the residents of the apartment building next to them have magical powers and the basement is a portal to other worlds, which Maya and her secret alien companion, Rimi, must use to track down aliens who snatched Rimi from her home planet in an attempt to rule the universe.
