Story
Celeste, an extraterrestrial with a mission to save her home planet from destruction, arrives on Earth disguised as a gorgeous woman. Her target is Dr. Steve Mills, a quirky scientist who is unaware of Celeste's true identity or purpose. Celeste successfully woos Dr. Mills and becomes his new stepmother, living under their roof alongside his young daughter. As Celeste experiences human life and true intimacy for the first time, she begins to lose sight of her mission. However, when she starts experiencing strange physical symptoms, such as levitation, she must confront where her loyalties lie - with Earth or her home planet.
