Synopsis

Julio (Julian Villagran) wakes up one morning in a perfect apartment, next to a stunning girl, with a terrible hangover unable to remember what happened the night before. Instantly he falls for her, Julia (Michelle Jenner). All she wants is him to go, but the alien invasion that has just begun gives him an excuse to stay. Julia's husband appears and the alien threat grows, but for Julio, one thing is clear: Just as the aliens have traveled across the universe to destroy mankind, he is here to stay.
