- Synopsis
- A mute extraterrestrial with healing powers lands in New York, looking remarkably like an African American male. He quickly makes his way to Harlem, where he manages to fit in, despite his inability to speak and his off-kilter way of doing things. However, the harmless visitor's stay on Earth might not last long, since two alien bounty hunters are combing the streets of the city looking for him.
