"Red" is a 10-year-old FosterKid who begins the comic in the care of a Mrs. Foster. She insists that she is not an orphan, and therefore not in need of adoption. During a bout of childish runaway (another of several she's attempted in fact), Red is picked up by the local cops and set to be sent to a juvie facility since this was her last offense. However a spaceship suddenly flies overhead and beams up the police car with Red still in it. The ship takes off into space but crash lands on a supposedly desert planet. Red finds herself among other alien abductees plunked from there homes and, though off to a rough start, starts to befriend them in the hopes of surviving the planet and find out who abducted them and for what reason.

The series was put on hiatus due to the Eddie's personal life getting rather busy to work on it (he's an art designer at Disney and has worked on shows like ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' ). Eventually on Oct 1 2015, Eddie revealed the webcomic was converted into a graphic novel and the first volume was released in April 2016 featuring both the first few chapters as well as new material from where the webcomic left off. While awesome news for the continuation for the series, Eddie likewise revealed that the webcomic will not be updating further due to publishing rights though he will keep the site up for the foreseeable future.
