What's The Story?
What would happen if an alien came to Earth and had to learn what it means to be human?
An extraterrestrial is sent to Earth with one mission: to prevent the perceived threat of human advancement. But there's a catch! Taking over the body of Professor Andrew Martin, a Cambridge mathematician, the visitor soon discovers that humanity is far more complicated than expected.
From our flaws and contradictions to our remarkable capacity for empathy and compassion, this unexpected journey challenges everything the visitor thought they knew about the human race.
