Texas, 1989. Captain IRINA SARATOVA (33) impresses her American hosts whilst part of a goodwill exchange program between NASA and The Soviet Space Agency. Slated for a Shuttle ride, the Cosmonaut’s participation, however, is cut short when she is suddenly recalled back to Moscow. Forced to fly a secret moon-landing mission whose real objective is to bring back national pride and pull the Soviet Union out of its death spiral, a malfunction aboard her lunar lander sends it tumbling uncontrollably into deep space.
Waking up on an Alien Spaceship crewed by humanoids, anthropomorphic animals and robots, a frightened Irina initially tries to escape, but gets recaptured. She gets informed that she had been injected with an exotic but experimental life-saving serum. Due to the serum’s prototypical nature, and to cover the treatment costs, Irina gets conscripted to be an intergalactic policewoman of-sorts for the Alien government.
Under the tutelage of an ex-commando named EZRA (37), Irina undergoes rigorous training to optimise abilities that have been enhanced by the serum. Together with Ezra, a Fembot, and an anthropomorphic cat, dog and spider, Irina begins the mission under the hands-off direction of a senior Alien leader named DY-RODH (76). However, Irina develops serious misgivings about her employers’ intentions when she witnesses Alien government forces razing a village and slaughtering its inhabitants.
Confronting Dy-Rodh, Irina and her crew are then given carte-blanche authorization to set things right and deliver justice throughout the galaxy. In the meantime Dy-Rodh sets in motion her own plans, and Irina and her friends soon realize that they are merely pawns in a power struggle between Dy-Rodh and President ARA-INO (63), the empire's supreme leader. Eventually, soon after Ezra reveals himself to be the head of a notorious rebel outfit, him and Irina get captured by the government.
During her interrogation, Irina tries to convince Ara-Ino that his rival Dy-Rodh doesn’t intend to launch a coup, but to invade Earth and start a new intergalactic empire. Having already decided that Irina is part of the conspiracy, Ara-Ino consigns Irina to an excruciatingly painful fate, but at the last minute she is rescued by her crew. Having rescued Ezra as well, they all scramble to stop Dy-Rodh and her secret ‘armada’ of spaceships and loyal troops from consummating her nefarious plans.
