A sprawling, paranoid family saga spanning six decades that weaves alien conspiracy, government cover-up, and intimate domestic trauma into a single narrative arc.

The show takes place from 1944 to 2002 and follows the lives of three families: the Crawfords, who seek to cover up the Roswell crash and the existence of aliens; the Keys, who are subject to frequent experimentation by the aliens; and the Clarkes, who sheltered one of the surviving aliens from the crash.
