- The crew wakes up from sleep, but things go wrong when a Xenomorph (the famous Alien monster) attacks.
- The ship crashes on Earth, in a city called New Siam.
- Meanwhile, we meet Wendy, a girl who was sick but now lives in a synthetic (robot-like) adult body. She is part of an experiment by a company called Prodigy.
- Wendy and other kids like her are called the “Lost Boys”.
Episode 2: “Mr. October”
- Wendyโs brother, Hermit, is part of a team sent to investigate the crashed ship.
- The Xenomorph starts killing people in the city, including rich partygoers who ignore warnings to leave.
