På Manhattans psykiatriska klinik möter doktor Mark Powell en ny patient. Mannen kallar sig Prot, säger att han kommer från planeten K-PAX i en annan galax och att han har rest till jorden med ljusets hastighet för att undersöka vår planet. Till en början verkar det vara ett solklart fall för Mark: Prot lider av vaneföreställningar. Men konstigt nog argumenterar han knivskarpt, utstrålar intelligens och berättar detaljerat om livet på K-PAX. Dessutom har han otroliga kunskaper inom astronomi och kan mer än proffesorerna och experterna inom området. Hur sjuk Prot än verkar så tycker Mark att hans berättelse verkar övertygande, väldigt övertygande...
