When Alien Nate's ship crashes down on Earth during a winter storm, he's befriended by Fazel, who takes him to school and introduces him to human life. Nate soon discovers that there are many things that make Earth and Earthlings great. He studies human customs, gorges himself on human food and tries to find a way to fix his ship to return to his home planet, Vega. But all the while he's chased by the Men in Beige, who desperately want to get Nate into their lab. Fortunately, Nate's human friends are eager to help him get back to Vega, where he promises to spread the word about planet Earth, the wonderful humans who live here-- and his new favorite pizza!
