What Is the Plot of Alien Romulus

The complete plot synopsis has not been revealed to us as such, but the creators of this movie state that Alien Romulus is going to be a completely stand-alone movie not interconnected with the rest of the movies from the Alien franchise. The only connection it will have is being set between the events of two movies from the original trilogy The official plot synopsis of the movie posted with the trailer reads-

“While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe”
