Film Synopsis

The backwater town of Skotlett is revelling in a music festival when stuntman James Bataille accidentally trashes a bar owned by Bosco, the disapproving father of his fiancée Concia   Bataille's reward for this act of vandalism is to go to prison for 133 years, which is just long enough to keep him away from Bosco's daughter.  It isn't long, however, before Bataille manages to break out of jail and return to Skotlett, determined to carry on where he left off with Concia.  Unfortunately, he hasn't only Bosco to deal with; the town has been invaded by a group of shape-changing aliens, and they are in mood for social niceties...
