Synopsis
Byung-Gu is an ordinary young man living in Korea. He believes that all of the Earth's social ills are the evil doings of aliens. That's why he knows that, unless he can meet the prince from Andromeda before the total lunar eclipse, planet Earth will be in grave danger.
In order to meet the prince, he must find an extraterrestrial living on earth. So Byung-Gu kidnaps the most logical suspect, Kang Man-Shik, the president and CEO of Yoojae Chemical Company.
Thus begins a battle between Byung-Gu, who's trying to uncover a secret alien plot to destroy the Earth, and CEO Kang Man-Shik, who thinks Byung-Gu is nuts and tries desperately to escape.
With only four hours until the lunar eclipse, will time run out for planet Earth? Can Byung-Gu single-handedly save the green planet?
