Summary
In classic ‘80s films like Ghostbusters and Aliens , Sigourney Weaver battled beasts and demons.

To Alexander Williams, a convicted murderer, she was a goddess, a divine being sent to this earth to do battle with evil. He worshiped her from the floor of his prison cell. And as his day of reckoning drew closer, he waited for glimmers of hope that his goddess would send in hopes that his fate would be altered.
