THE VACATIONERS

Quick Pitch: It’s like MEN IN BLACK meets BEING JOHN MALKOVICH.
SYNOPSIS: Archaeologist grad student Marta Becker finds out that advanced beings regularly possess humans, not for global domination but rather just for the fun of it. We're their Club Med, their Burning Man Festival, their WESTWORLD. One Vacationer is sent to throw Marta off the aliens’ trail but instead falls in love with her. Together they, along with a group of oddball conspiracy enthusiasts, help defend mankind's free will against the rest of the hedonistic extraterrestrials.
Hook: It’s a new myth to describe the origin of “moods” and provide a whimsical explanation for previously inexplicable behavior.
Tagline: "They're what got into you!"
