A pulpy, paranoid alien-occupation serial that keeps you hooked with scheming villains and scrappy resistance skirmishes.

Overview: Once again, Earth is the battleground. But now the aliens whose human guise hides their true reptilian natures are wiser. They believe the secret to their survival on Earth lies in the DNA of the newly born half-human, half-spaceling Starchild. But that's something the world's Resistance Fighters cannot allow.
How it feels: Tense, campy, dark and satirical. Brisk and needs your attention.

Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
