This Simple Feeling.

It’s July of 1969 and the entirety of the USA seemed to have space fever. That is, however, aside from James T Kirk, a very recent military school dropout who’s come back to his hometown to try and sort himself back out. When he encounters a wounded alien who’s crash-landed in the middle of a neighbouring farm, it’s a race against the clock, the US government, and the alien’s rapidly deteriorating health, to try and bring him back home.

Oh, and also their growing feelings for each other, but that’s quite low on their shared priority list among the chaos of everything else.
