If she refuses to cooperate, her own father will be killed by an assassin awaiting a call from Jackson.

Although they think he’s a bit of an oddball, there’s certainly a planet full of stranger (and homelier) guys who’ve at least had one go at having a go. They consider it their duty to help Andy. But nothing proves effective enough to lure their friend out of lifelong chastity until he meets Trich (Catherine Keener), a 40-year-old mother of three.
