In a
small hamlet in England,
where the town’s people spends their evenings at the pub, stargazing and
wondering if there is life on other planets. One night, the family returns home to find an inebriated
overweight being clad in skin tight red outfit in their home, Zonad... an alien from outer space,
probably. Enchanted by what the family
has to offer (especially their daughter), he decides to stay in town for a
while. All is well and going to plan until Zonad's 'friend', Zonad show up and
decides he wants a piece of the action too.
An
escaped alcoholic from a rehab finds himself passed out an in the home of small
family after waking up, but lucky for him, they mistaken him as an
extra-terrestrial and he is given the red carpet treatment rather than going
back to rehab he enjoys being the town celebrity and all the girls he wants... that is until
another escapee shows up in town and decides to muscle out Zonad of his the
action. Now can these two 'aliens'
square things out without blowing each others covers?
This is a comedy, about a small ignorant town, its people, and those who would
take advantage of it. The main character
is an escapee from a rehab and sudden finds himself in a town where he doesn't
have to work, everyone buys him free drinks, and the girls are looking for
someone to 'come get some'. As he
continues to act the part of an alien his theatrics, dancing, and singing
charms the townspeople to service him, some of the music reminiscent from the Kill Bill soundtrack,
but things get even more crazy another odd ball crashes his party, Zonad finds
he might have to take some action to remove this upstart. Extras include director’s commentary and
trailer.
