Výzkumné stanici RB-232, ztracené v odlehlém koutě vesmíru, se říká Chladná výheň. V této tajné dílně kuje Weyland-Yutani nové zbraně. Nepracuje se tu ale s rozžhaveným železem. Surovinou, kterou chce všemocná společnost proměnit ve zbraně, jsou xenomorfové, jejichž rasa dosud zůstává pro lidstvo velkou neznámou. Vedoucí projektu, doktorka Blue Marsalisová, však vidí mnohem větší potenciál svého výzkumu. Tvorové Manumala noxhydria, známí jako ksichtolepové, disponují nejvražednějším patogenem ve vesmíru – látkou plagiarus praepotens, schopnou přepsat hostitelovu DNA. Blue na vlastní pěst zkoumá její možné léčebné využití, aby mohla zvrátit zhoubný postup vlastního genetického onemocnění a zachránit si tak život. Ale čas se jí krátí. Kdosi se pokouší zničit celou stanici a všechny na palubě… Pokud se o to dřív nepostarají vetřelci!
