Nate Gallagher is a pretty handy guy to have around, even if you are an alien from another planet who has crash-landed on Earth, and so he makes his living. Whitney St. Charles is an ambitious television personality who has stumbled upon Nate and his interplanetary clientele. To keep Whitney quiet and protect his livelihood, Nate offers to take her on one of his jobs, if she agrees that outing him would serve no real purpose. Whitney agrees, but does not realize what she has agreed to -- flying around from star to star, mingling with dozens of weird alien beings, crashing landing on a strange desert planet, posing as an arms dealer in a deception to trap a gang of galactic criminals, all while falling for Nate.
