David's brother Simon disappeared when they were kids. David has spent years traveling the UK and the world, funded by a small but fortuitous lottery win, to visit people who claim to have been abducted by aliens. He has a website and Facebook group where he asks people to help in his quest, and they upload video interviews they have done for him.
David has met and interviewed respected scientists as well as a colorful assortment of people who have had "close encounters." He's convinced he is onto something.
His mother has given up hope that David will ever get a proper job--or heaven forbid--find a girl and settle down, but she point blank refuses to talk about the loss of her other son Simon.
Every week David goes to the local pub to either play war-games or be in a pub quiz. His fellow pub friends are totally bored with his UFO obsession. However, Sally, a girl he met at the "Failed Suicide Club," really likes David. But David is oblivious to Sally's advances, and being somewhat shy, she isn't getting very far. Will David's search turn up an alien abduction? Will he find Simon, or love, or anything? The ending will surprise some viewers, and give closure and enjoyment to all.
