Resident Alien
Synopsis:
Michael has landed--in the biggest mess of his life, that is. His ex-wife and her doltish husband are furious with him. the sheriff has an arrest warrant handy. And nobody but nobody believes his story that 12-year-old son Billy was beamed up by aliens. the only proof is the elusive visitor left behind, the one with the vaguely green complexion and an affection for beer. the National Enquirer smacks head-on into Kierkegaard in this charmingly off-beat romantic comedy
