A serialized sci-fi mystery about the return of 4400 missing people with unexplained abilities, balancing government investigation with questions of identity, purpose, and what it means to be fundamentally altered.

4400 centers on the return of 4400 people who, previously presumed dead or reported missing, reappear on Earth. Though they have not aged physically, some of them seem to have deeper alterations ranging from superhuman strength to an unexplained healing touch. A government agency is formed to track the 4400 people after one of them commits a murder.
