The Series and Setting

The basis for the Peacock TV series Teacup

The West Texas desert towns of Inferno and Bordertown have been slowly dying. The Snake River isn''t the only thing that divides them. Racism and gang wars have turned the sun-scorched flatlands into a powder keg. If anything can unite them now, it''s the UFO that comes crashing through the clouds.

The Alien and the Hunter

It brings with it a young alien named Daufin, a fugitive who has taken human form. She knows the terror that awaits this planet—because it''s looking for her. Stinger is an alien bounty hunter with an infinite capacity for death and a devious plan to find Daufin. Entombing the region in an inescapable dome, Stinger unleashes a violent fury unknown to humankind.

The Survivors' Fight

Now, the few remaining survivors must come together to protect Daufin, themselves, and the world beyond.
