Plot – Agent K is at the service of a powerful unofficial government agency. He deals with everything related to immigration and he controls the activity of everything that is extraterrestrial on Earth. He works in secret and he always wears black. There is a lot to do and the organization decides to help K. Some young people in the NYPD are put through a variety of aptitude tests. James Edwards, called J, is chosen. At the beginning, he doesn’t understand what the work consists of, but then he realizes that the Earth is infested by a hidden trade of aliens, a danger for humankind. The inquiries into the mysterious deaths of several of these aliens lead K and J to the laboratory of Dr. Laurel Weaver, who discovers strange things thanks to the autopsy on the bodies.
