A 400‑lb humanoid alien lands in New York City and discovers an appetite for Italians rather than Italian food. Only the bumbling detective McSorely seems to grasp the odd craving, though his own understanding is shaky. The rest of the police dismiss him as delusional while the alien continues its bizarre tour of the city’s Italian community.
