Thirteen-year-old Kevin Buchannon (Adam Hann-Byrd) lives at the bottom
of the high-school food chain, scorned by other geeks, picked on by the
jocks. At home, he lives in the shadow of his older brother Josh, a football
star whose every accomplishment is celebrated by the boys' father, Alex
(Daniel Hugh Kelly). Then one day, Kevin sees a plane crash in the woods
near his house. He rushes to the scene with his dog Cody to find a
mysterious ship occupied by the severely injured Captain Turner (Chris
Potter). Turner tells Kevin the ship is a top-secret experimental aircraft and
instructs Kevin on how to bandage and heal his wounds. But Turner
reveals more than he intends to, when the strain of his injuries causes him
to briefly lose consciousness. When he does, he inadvertently reveals
himself to be a shape-shifting alien, lapsing into his real form - that of a
monstrous alien. Once the secret is out, Turner admits that he is actually
Tyr'Nar, an alien bounty hunter who was escorting a murderous prisoner
back to his world when their ship crashed. Tyr'Nar gives the boy a
mysterious patch that allows him to fight back against his tormentor. He
also offers the support and understanding that Kevin never got from his
father. But it soon becomes clear, to us if not to Kevin, that Tyr'Nar is not
that alien he claims to be. While Alex Buchannon is anything but the ideal
father, the real evil lies in the alien who wants to be take over that role.
