“He's not just another out-of-towner...”

ComedyScience FictionDrama

A mute alien with the appearance of a black human is chased by outer-space bounty hunters through the streets of Harlem.

VIBE

A charmingly offbeat journey about finding your place. It's a low-key, thoughtful sci-fi comedy that uses its alien premise to explore very human themes with a gentle, observant touch.
