We Can Save The World!!!

Ryan (Noah Yap) is a government worker stuck in a dead-end job. When he's asked to search for a missing recycling bin, he runs into a strange-looking man, Peng (Jun Vinh Teoh), who claims he is an alien with amnesia. Ryan soon finds himself dragged into a wild goose chase for a doomsday device and along the way, he'll have to deal with a crazy alien-worshipping cult, evade a top-secret (but poorly funded) government agency in charge of monitoring extraterrestrial activity in Singapore, and gather allies to join the adventure.​ Sometimes saving the world begins with simply saying yes to a man in need.
