The Kaiju Preservation Society

Jamie Gray is fired just as the COVID-19 pandemic sweeps the world, and thus is forced to work as a food delivery driver. One day, Jamie runs into an old acquaintance named Tom, who says he works for a NGO that works with large animals. He gives Jamie a card and a job offer. Jamie agrees and is soon on a plane to Greenland. What Tom failed to mention is that Jamie won't be working on their own Earth, but rather on a parallel Earth where evolution took a different path. And the large animals are, in fact, kaijus. The KPS is a multinational organization funded by major world governments and private companies. Their task is twofold. First, they keep the kaijus from invading our Earth whenever a nuclear explosion weakens the fabric between the world, something that has happened several times in history but was covered up. Second, they protect the kaijus from poachers who find a way to cross over illegally.
