John Ross was living the American dream until one day when everything went wrong and he ended up on the streets, homeless and penniless for thirty years. Until one day, he meets someone who takes an interest in him and a strange bond is formed. The alien, sent to study Earth, decides to use Ross to conduct a test of humanity, and concocts a plan to launch him on a mission to salvage an entire portion of his city from its deplorable condition.
