[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The plot centers around a series of strange murders that take place in a Nevada Desert near Groom Lake, Nevada that have been going on for two years.

When several people are attacked at a small carnival, it is revealed that the culprit of the muders is an alien-like creature. This draws attention from its creator, Dr. Cleo Browning(played by Phoebe Falconer) who is determined to stop it.

The story continues when an animal rights activist, Tracy, and her boyfriend, Gibson, overhear Dr. Browning planning to kill the alien with the Sheriff Sam Cash(played by Sean Galuszka). She thinks that if they can obtain the alien, they can reveal to the world what the government is doing to animals. In the meantime, three of the carnival workers, Elvada, Doctor PsychoBilly, and Speck, leave the scene to find the alien to use as an attraction at the carnival.

Sam Cash and Dr. Browning arrive at the house of Cletus(played by Matthew Christopher). Cletus guesses that the alien was living in some caves up in the mountains. While this is happening, Tracy attempts to slash the tires of Cash's car, while Gibson watches for people. Tracy, unable to slash the tires, calls for Gibson to help, but is unable to find him. She goes searching for him and finds him dead. She screams and runs away, and is soon attacked and killed by the alien.

The next day, Dr. Browning and Sam Cash go in search for the alien. They find its "home", a small underground tunnel. Sam Cash sends Dr. Browning down, attached to a rope. Dr. Browning kidnaps the alien's "child", and sends it up to Sam Cash. The carnival workers arrive on the scene and hold a gun to Sam Cash's head, they demand to have the alien child, and he gives it to them. Then they push Cash down into the tunnel.

Cash and Browning escape the alien's tunnel and return to the carnival. They interrupt the show and steal the alien back. They attempt to drive away but Doctor PsychoBilly shoots one of their tires. Elvada and Doctor PsychoBilly lure Dr. Browning near the "Mother" alien, which just arrived on the scene. Dr. Browning is attacked by the alien but she fights back. Doctor Psychobilly in the meanwhile is having a fight with Sam Cash. The fight eventually ends in Cash getting shot. Dr. Browning, in her fight with the alien, stabs it and the alien stops fighting and rolls to the ground. Elvada asks if the alien is dead. Dr. Browning, who is walking away from the scene, says yes. Elvada gets closer to the alien, which attacks and kills her.
