Imagine her absolute surprise, then, when she is abruptly abducted by one. Odder still, her abductor looks nothing like the green men popular media led her to expect; instead, he resembles a giant tumbleweed with a mass of lightning-fast tentacles. Francie soon discovers she isn't the only victim of this abduction spree. She is quickly joined by a charming con man named Wade, a sweet old lady harboring a serious casino addiction, a retiree with a massive RV and a love for Westerns, and a UFO-chasing fanatic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eAs Francie spends more time with the peculiar alien, she realizes he is not a malicious invader but rather a desperate being in deep trouble who desperately needs her help.
