Martin is struggling more than usual.

They promise all of his Earthly worries will be a thing of the past. At first, Martin tells the aliens to take a hike. As if he could leave Sage, Priscilla, or his little sister, Nina, behind. But as the nights grow longer, and the food in his family's cabinets is getting scarcer, Martin worries it might be his only choice...
