Resident Alien

Synopsis

A stranded extraterrestrial adopts the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor to carry out a covert mission. What starts as a quiet, ordinary life is upended when he becomes entangled in a local murder investigation and must more fully assimilate into the community. Torn between his assignment and the bonds he forms with his new neighbors, he faces an ethical crisis about his purpose—questioning whether humanity is worth saving—and finds himself puzzled by curious everyday habits, like why people fold their pizza before eating it.
