SYNOPSIS:

Michael Fox is super excited to accept his architectural firm’s offer to move to L.A. to spearhead the commission of a new wing for the Getty Museum. His girlfriend, Helen, of three months is not pleased, but reluctantly accepts Michael’s offer to maintain their long distance relationship. Within a week, Helen has second thoughts. He’s just too far away, and worse, she doesn’t like to be alone. Phone calls and texting barely act as the glue that once held them together as a couple. A few days pass, and Michael comes to the realization the relationship is quickly falling by the wayside. His co-workers; Ken and Georgia, encourage Michael to get out and have some fun. So on the following stormy night, after dinner, too many drinks, and reports of a UFO sighting off of Catalina Island, Michael wakes up, still in his clothes, in the living room of his home, makes himself a coffee, looks out of the kitchen window to the backyard, and is not sure what he sees. He walks out into the yard and on closer inspection, discovers a spacecraft mostly buried in the ground. The front door bell rings. He waits. The bell frantically rings again. Michael quickly grabs the car cover from the garage and covers the ship, then proceeds to the front entrance. It’s Ken with tennis racket in hand, wondering why he took so long to answer the door and who is that girl standing behind him. A new long distance relationship develops between Michael and Chariot; the girl from the spaceship from a ”parallel universe”. Secrecy as to how they met is paramount. During a dinner party given by the museum director, Paul and his wife Robin, they manage to inadvertently provoke Chariot to a point where she feels compelled to inform Paul that the “Kouros “ which has been purchased by the museum for ten million dollars the week before, is a fake. She does. They laugh it off reminding everyone at the dinner table that an extensive year- long investigation as to the authenticity of statue has been satisfied, and besides how could Chariot have any expertise in Egyptian artifacts? A few moments later, one of the guest at the dinner party receives an urgent call from the curator’s counsel from Egypt informing him a mistake has been made, and the ‘Kouros” is indeed a fake. Suspicion about Chariot’s persona develops but then reduced after a few days pass; written off as some kind of lucky hunch until a night with Michael’s co-worker, Georgia begins by Georgia accidentally hitting two girls with her car walking down the street. As a policeman discusses what happened with Georgia, Chariot escorts the two girls into the EMI van, barely conscious, to the hospital. Chariot, now in the waiting room of the hospital, decides to find the girls room and go to work. She does. Fifteen minutes pass and both girls exit the hospital with no broken bones or recollection of what happened. Another fifteen minutes pass and Georgia enters the hospital to discover Chariot working her magic on the terminally ill cancer patients. To avoid suspicion she finds two nurses outfits and they change quickly. Georgia always had a crazy suspicion who Chariot really is, especially when she found her spaceship covered in Michael’s back garage at the suggestion of Max, a four year old boy she sometimes baby sat for who lived across the street. Max also had cancer but then it mysteriously disappeared when Chariot, as a favor to the mother, babysat one night on short notice when Michael was away. Ken and Georgia, unbeknownst to Michael, shared a childhood belief that it would be too naïve to believe we are the only life forms in this universe or in another universe. Georgia felt when Chariot thought the time was right she would let her know of her true identity. So, to the amazement of all the nurses, the sick patients simply left their beds and the Hospital. The police were called in to investigate. Chariot, knowing it will become a matter of time before Georgia is identified as one of the nurses who assisted her in the betterment of the patients decides that it’s time to leave this planet and return to her “parallel universe”. She gives Georgia a map, along with instructions in her language to be given to her brother who had come a few days earlier to convince her to come home, on where to meet in the desert in a barren area Michael has purchased for her where the magnetic fields are in line with her earth. Michael has to now decide on whether to keep this long distance relationship.
