The books deal with the experiences on Earth of a man named "prot" (rhymes with "goat", and is not capitalised). prot claims to be from a far away planet called K-PAX, where sex is considered unpleasant, veganism or fruitarianism is preferred, eating meat is never considered, and there are no laws, governments, or schools (see anarchism).
The 2001 film '''''K-PAX''''' was directed by Iain Softley and is based on the first book in this trilogy. Kevin Spacey portrays prot, and Jeff Bridges plays the psychiatrist. There are some very significant differences between the film and the book, however, not merely in detail but also in terms of plot's overall "message".
