The last alien on Earth is hiding in the city's library.
Lin Shen, who has been lurking for fifty years, will be able to return home in 37 days.
Until that Wednesday afternoon when a woman said, "When you smile, your eyes don't smile."
Her name is Su Mian, an emergency doctor. She started bringing double lunches. He started counting the days until Wednesday. He began to want to stay.
But she is no ordinary person. Her father died in an alien contact accident and she is investigating him.
And his home planet has been destroyed. He is not a lurker, he is an outcast.
37 Days countdown. An alien who wants to get home, a woman who wants to capture him, and a fleet of Sweepers that are about to arrive.
He is the last alien. But he was wondering if he could be a human for once.
