Plot
[edit] | This article describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style. (November 2012) |
Three years prior to the start of the series, a team of astronaut miners complete a space expedition. By the time they return to Earth, their commander has gone insane, taking an important secret with him to a heavily guarded state lunatic asylum.
At the beginning of the series, archaeologist Lloyd Walker and entomologist Marianne Winters are questioning a possible link between the space mission, the commander’s insanity, and a series of sudden, unexplained accidents and disappearances.
Liz Quinlan, an employee of the mayor’s office, is secretly the ruler of a species of aliens and knows their secret. Meanwhile, police and government officials are overwhelmed by these aliens who are masquerading as humans. Lloyd and Marianne search to find William Phillips, the commander and sole survivor of the mission, and the only person who knows the ultimate goal of the aliens and who can defeat them.
