They\u2019ve sold the planet.<\/p>\n

When Toby, a penniless student, and his two new flatmates find out one morning on TV, they’re surprised to find the Earth\u2019s new alien owners are staggeringly cute and bring the promise of a debt-free future. They’re just getting ready to celebrate along with the rest of the world, when a chance encounter with a mysterious professor reveals the truth.
