It centers on a family of aliens called Shlorpians from planet Shlorp. A perfect Utopia that was destroyed by an Asteroid. 100 adult Shlorpians, their replicants were given a Pupa and escaped into space searching for uninhabited worlds to take refuge. One group, Korvo, Terry, Jesse and Yumyulack land on, of course, on the planet Earth somewhere in middle America. They disagree on whether this is awful or awesome.
