BRIEF
PITCH &
SYNOPSIS

Dr. Ishi Banesa, a descent of Venusian survivors who escaped to Earth millions of years ago, teaches linguistics at Taos University, passing as a human. His life's mission is to save Earth from the fate that destroyed Venus. When an ancient spaceship wreck is uncovered, Ishi fears his mission will be derailed and he and his grandmother, the last Venusians, will be harmed. To complicate matters the Dean has threatened his job if he doesn't publish his works soon, works that will out him. He also feels an increasing need to tell the truth to his grad assistant, who is falling in love with him. But when "Space Alien Vigilantes" start harassing and killing innocent humans, mistaking them for space aliens, Ishi can no longer hide his secret. With time running out, Ishi must reveal his identity and divert the danger to himself, or more innocent people will be killed.  But will that thwart his plans to help save Earth from runaway warming?
