Des Howell is a former rock 'n' roll star who never leaves his secluded oceanfront mansion. Naked, rich and usually deranged. he subsists on a steady diet of whiskey, pharmaceuticals and jelly doughnuts and occasionally works on his Whale Music. His record producers are pressuring him to do something more commercial. but, as Des says. "It's not my fault if whales don't have any money." Then one day, upon awakening from his habitual drunken stupor. Des discovers on his sofa a young alien, Claire, from the faraway universe of Toronto. This girl has made the trek to Des' hideaway because she believes in him and she's crazy enough to think that Des can make a comeback hit with his mad magnum opus...
