An alien organism travels between human hosts to prevent being identified and caught as it goes on a crime spree, driving fast cars and listening to loud rock music. A bounty hunter and an FBI agent keep on the chase and attempt to catch it before it possesses it's next human victim.

This 1987 B-movie is much better than its plot would suggest with some very decent visual effects considering the age and budget of the production. Unfortunately, it hasn't dated particularly well, but is still quite entertaining.
