It's based on a novel by the guy who wrote Communion (that's the one about alien abduction -- like, for real) and stars the guy from Nip/Tuck. But what is Syfy's new series, Hunters, really all about?

Let the cast and crew -- including mega-producer Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator, Aliens) -- introduce you to a dangerous new world of conspiracy, terrorism and, yes, creatures from outer space.

Hunters premieres on Syfy on Monday, April 11 at 10/9c.
