Plot
Three years prior to the start of the series, a team of astronaut miners completed a space expedition. By the time they returned to Earth, their commander had gone mad, taking a terrible secret with him to a heavily guarded state lunatic asylum. At the time the series starts, archaeologist Lloyd Walker and entomologist Marianne Winters are among a select group of people who are questioning a possible link between the space mission, the commander’s madness, and a series of bizarre accidents and disappearances.
Liz Quinlan, employee of the mayor’s office, knows the secret of the aliens, given that she is their ruler. Police and government officials are taken over by aliens masquerading as humans. Lloyd and Marianne realize they can trust no one, except William Phillips, the only person who knows the ultimate goal of the aliens and has a key to their defeat. He is the commander himself—the sole mission survivor. Lloyd and Marianne must find him before he becomes a victim of an unearthly experiment.
