A mostly unsuccessful lawyer named Henry wakes up in an unfamiliar room. There's a woman named Olivia (Anna Hopkins, whom I knew from Defiance) there, whom he had recently met in a bar. It turns out she's actually... um... I dunno, like, a human-looking manifestation of an alien lawyer, representing a client who wants to obtain Earth's oceans. It seems Henry was chosen to represent Earth because he's not very good at his job. And of course, it's pretty hard for him to wrap his head around what's going on, but he does know that Earth- and humanity- can't survive without its oceans. So... he does his best. More than that, I don't want to reveal, but it's definitely a decent little film.
