They came from a place with no otherwhere.
While fighting the circadian predators that decimate their population every 3 years, the green-skinned royal family of a tiny, primitive world are accidentally transported to the Look'N Up Pomegranate Ranch in California, where they are hired as immigrant farm workers by a unique family who were once penniless farm workers themselves, and who carry a hideous genetic deformity.
With tender empathy, the two families explore each other's cultures in a richly woven story of religion vs. science; theocracy vs. democracy; women's rights; racism; otherization; castigation and the shocking psychological effects of living in a world with no otherwhere.
When they find that the predators are hibernating on the ranch, waiting to attack an unsuspecting Earth, they must combine all their diverse strengths and skills to defeat them.
