However, his life changes dramatically when, in the space of a week, he suffers a dreadful personal tragedy, potentially he becomes a murderer and he meets a girl who claims to be an alien... Over the next few days, Archie and Farspace Commander Kharalaya 7 Calfarr form an unusual, fraught and occasionally physical alliance as they try to recover an alien weapon deposited on earth and constructed with one objective - genocide!
