Set in an entirely new continuity, the series concerns a group of Crites who are sent to Earth to find a missing member of their kind. At the same time, a pair of bounty hunters arrive on the planet to try and stop the Crites before they cause too much trouble.

!!Tropes:
* AlternateContinuity: The web series is set in a completely different continuity from the original film series.
* BigEater: The main character Christopher is noted to have a voracious appetite.
* EyepatchOfPower: The leader of the Crites sent to Earth to retrieve the missing Crite wears an eyepatch.
* KickTheDog: It's clearly established that the Crites are bad news when one of them kills and feasts on all the animals kept at an animal shelter.
* MiniSeries: The web series lasts only eight episodes.
* RedHerring: Uncle Murray is shown to have a small creature hidden away that he sometimes feeds. We're initially led to believe that Uncle Murray's pet is the missing Crite, but episode four reveals that it is actually an owl.
