The Phoenix background

The Phoenix

A powerful, human-like alien is on the run on modern Earth, driven by his desperate quest to find his lost partner.

In Peru, an archaeological team unearths ancient Incan ruins and discovers a mysterious casket with strange seals. When opened, they find a white man, Bennu, surprisingly still alive, who turns out to be an extraterrestrial visitor. Unfortunately, the stored information in the casket is destroyed by the archaeologists, leaving Bennu to navigate Earth's dangers while evading government agents who want to either worship or dissect him.
