Brilliant scientist Acturex pleads with his fellow beings to intervene in the affairs of a tiny passive and gentle planet known as Earth. A dangerous being known as Shriek has infiltrated their culture and could upset it into destruction. But Earth’s breakdown and eventual takeover has been prophesied for eons so the Committee chooses not to interfere. Acturex knows that if anyone is to help the gentle beings of Earth, it must be him. He chooses a rather brawny human to pour his essence into so that he can defeat the common enemy and so journeys to Earth…

Aspiring actress Catherine Denton loses her waitress job and gains a stray dog all in one day. Her rather muscular friend, Gerrick, is spending the night in her living room when “government agents” working for Shriek break in to capture a certain alien essence as it arrives. Unfortunately for them, Acturex has had a slight miscalculation in his aim and instead of inhabiting a human body, now finds himself in Catherine’s dog.

Will our unlikely duo be able to save the planet from certain destruction and an uncaring universe?
