SYNOPSIS:
BORIS BOREALIS is a curious, androgynous, alien from a far away planet named Kantalooda. As their ship passes Earth, and Boris watches the planet's digital archives AKA YouTube, his curiosity peaks at the concept of Happiness. He is warned that he cannot divert his current course by his digital AI companion MORGANA. However, his ship is struck by the barrier of space trash in Earth's orbit and he crash lands in Griffith Park. Since no one is around, Boris takes Morgana, transforms his ship into a suitcase and looks for shelter. He finds himself knocking onto doors of an East LA suburban neighborhood. He finally greets MARTIN ROMAN: 22 years old, frustrated anxiety in thick rimmed glasses. Martin waves to Boris, believing that Boris is the new tenant of the empty room in Martin's home. Their awkward exchange makes Morgana suspicious of the seemingly genuine young man and Martin leads Boris into The Big House.
Boris meets Martin's roommates; CARL HUDSON: a 29 year old, handsome, Black, man child studying acting. ALEXUS "LEXX" OLIVANDER: a 22 year old, blonde with high ambition for directing, a love for denim and a penchant for sarcasm. KATERINA "KAT" NIKOLAOS: 25 years old, Black woman adopted by an immigrant Greek couple, she keeps her hair dreadlocked with purple ends. Boris is enamored by the interactions between the household, and the house deems Martin fit to give Boris the tour. Martin is upset with them for ignoring his pleas for help getting into a party, that he wasn't invited to, so he can have his chance to woo his school crush HAYLEY OWENS. Reluctantly, he gives Boris the tour starting in the backyard. There they have a hilarious and quirky conversation and Martin learns of Boris' origin. Which sends him running to warn the others but they have already left for the party. Boris reassures Martin, who's hiding under a table, that he will not be harmed. Boris wants to experience the party and if Martin doesn't alert anyone, then Boris will help him get into the party.
After Boris peacefully knocks out MARIO the bouncer. Martin gets worried but his feelings for Hayley take over and they enter the party. Martin gives Boris the nudge to join other humans and ditches him to find Hayley. Martin and Hayley have time to themselves on the house staircase and Boris joins Kat, Carl and some other party goers that are smoking a joint. Martin and Hayley make out while Boris ends up giving a lecture on reality, objectivity and self awareness to the entire party. They are intrigued by Boris' analysis. Until, DEREK BANKS, the host of the party feels envious and gets aggressive with Boris. Hayley asks Martin to get her another drink and once he goes downstairs, he sees the conflict. Martin wants to help but Hayley wants him to forget about it. However, Martin recognizes that he's the only one that's fully aware of what Boris is. He sacrifices his time with his crush and intervenes in the drama. Derek insults Martin harshly and Martin actually apologizes to him. Boris gets upset and threatens Derek, who eggs him on in return. Until Lexx steps in but is berated by Derek and Kat finally ends the conflict by meeting Derek's face with her fist.
Back at The Big House, Martin apologizes to Boris for ditching him and for Derek. However, Boris doesn't focus on the negative. He tells Martin that there's no point. Boris wanted to see Happiness and when he lectured everyone he saw it in their smiles. That is what he focuses on. Although, he asks Martin why he defended Derek and Martin explains that he can handle Derek and doesn't want people hurt because of him. Boris and Martin make a deal: Martin will show Boris how to fit into human society and Boris gets to stay in The Big House as long as he doesn't harm anyone.
