Animation · Comedy · Science Fiction
After settling in with her roommates Charlyne and Sophie, mute alien Stacey happily joins them on a trip from the Riverwest neighborhood in Milwaukee to Charlyne’s dear old dad in Chicago. If figuring out how best to take care of an alien lifeform wasn’t enough, the rogue CIA agent on their take might just make things worse. Whatever the case, the sheer independence of Stacey might be at stake.
