Before long, he has acquired a charming con man named Wade, a sweet little old lady with a casino addiction, a retiree with a huge RV and a love for old Westerns, and a UFO-chasing nutjob who is thoroughly convinced the alien intends to probe them and\/or take over the planet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the more Francie gets to know the alien, the more convinced she becomes that he's not an invader.
