Based on the novel of the same name by David Gerrold.

John Cusack stars in the film as a sci-fi writer crushed by the recent death of his fiancee. To deal with his grief, he forms an unlikely family with a close friend (Amanda Peet) and a young boy  But their new relationship gets off to a rocky start when the child becomes convinced that he's from the Red Planet.

 The new couple ignores some sage parenting advice from the widower’s sister (Joan Cusack) and gets more than they bargained for when a series of strange occurrences lead them to believe that the child’s claim may be true. Based on an award-winning short story by sci-fi luminary David Gerrold.
