Synopsis
Mix together a dash of venomous envy, large reptilian predators, a were-tiger and secret government forces and you have a light-hearted science-fiction fantasy romp. Set in the future, on a used car lot, an unlikely mixture of heroes and villains gathers for a mad-capped adventure.
The lot is held together by a cast of dysfunction characters led by Larry's mysterious ex-con friend and a former spy, Ron McKay. But unknown to everyone Ron is serving out his penitence for rescuing Larry's father during a covert mission for the government.
Using a small horde of insect-like nano-bots, Ron keeps tabs on Hillary Zane, the villainous neighbor, and her clan whose latest plot to close the lot down. Ron learns while watching Hillary she now possess a strange alien box; a box that has hypnotic powers hold Hillary on her.
Enter a trio of alien scouts to retrieve the artifact. They are the Gatori, a fierce warrior race, bent on invading human space, but they must have have been sent to find and take possession of the mysterious box. In a whirlwind of converging plots, Ron, aided by his former partner and a love sick young woman, decide to confiscate the box at the same time the aliens decide to make their move.
What ensues is a small invasion when the aliens grab the box.
