In 2014, an alien spaceship crash lands on earth in the small town of Edendale. The initial contact goes badly as many Atrians are killed. Young Roman escapes and finds shelter in Emery's backyard shed. Roman is shot and recaptured. Ten years later, seven teen Atrians are integrated into the local high school. There is an immediate backlash. Emery Whitehill (Aimee Teegarden) realizes that Roman (Matt Lanter) is one of the seven. Her friend Julia Yeung (Malese Jow) is dying from cancer. Roman uses a secret alien plant to cure her. The Atrians are being harassed by a human group called Red Hawks. Roman's peace-loving father and Atrian leader is accidentally shot to death by Emery's security chief father. The Trags are extremist Atrians bent on destroying the human race.
It's a teen high school melodrama that is always on the edge of overloading the show with too much sci-fi. The fact that it got canceled so quickly probably saved it from disintegrating from too many convoluted story points. The young cast is fine and they grew on me. The show really throws a lot into the story. I would have like for the show to settle down a bit more.
