In a galaxy far away, alien criminals organize a spectacular prison break. Pursued by their home planet's authorities, their leader Zin decides there's only one place to go: through a wormhole that allows instantaneous travel to Earth. Cole is the Alien Tracker who's in hot pursuit of the escaped convicts. When a government group investigating extraterrestrials captures one, Cole must break into the facility and free him before they gather hard evidence they need to prove that Alien life exists on earth.
