Marriage of Inconvenience

New names, new jobs, new lives, new husbands...? Two total strangers entering a witness protection program must pretend to be happily married to hide their identities from the dangerous people who want them dead. Franklin is an even-tempered English professor who prides himself on his attention to detail in every area of his carefully structured life. Owen is a messy, street-smart dropout with anger issues, forced into a life of crime against his will. About the only thing Franklin and Owen have in common is that they're gay. Now, living together in a very small house as Mr. and Mr. Fulton, they find they have something else in common: they can't stand each other. But both men have complicated pasts, with some very bad people relentlessly hunting them down. With their lives on the line, Owen and Franklin are stuck with each other--for better or for worse.

A woman in the midst of a late-20’s crisis is cleaning toilets when she starts noticing her co-workers changing. Each of them has a key to the puzzle. But can they figure out a way to stop an alien invasion before it’s too late? Or will they, too, succumb to the pods’ alluring glow?
