Plot

edit

Skizz, an alien interpreter, crash lands on Earth and his ship self-destructs to stop it from falling into the wrong hands. He is saved from the military (led by a thuggish South African named Van Owen - an apparent reference to Warren Zevon's Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner) - by a young girl called Roxy.
