Starhunter follows the exploits of the crew of the spaceship Trans Utopian (The Tulip) , a former luxury liner that has been refitted to serve a bounty-hunting crew. Leading the crew during the first season is Dante Montana (Michael Paré), who became a bounty hunter in order to search for his son, Travis, who was abducted ten years earlier by a group of Raiders. During the raid, Dante's wife, Penny, was killed. The Raiders are a group of genetically enhanced former-soldiers who were rendered sterile, and must abduct children to increase their numbers.

Rounding out the crew is Lucrecia Scott (Claudette Roche). Luc, a former marine, was placed aboard the ship by Rudolpho DeLuna (Stephen Marcus), the ship's owner, to look out for his interests.
