Sci-fi horror about a half-human, half-alien female mutant who escapes from a government laboratory and attempts to prolong the life of her species by mating with a human. Pursued by scientists and police, she passes through a chrysalid stage and takes on the appearance of a beautiful young woman. But at any moment she can metamorphose from her eye-catching form into a repulsive, death-dealing monster.
