The Fugitive meets The X-files
1 February 2008
Warning: Spoilers
Roy Thinnes stars as David Vincent, architect, who pulls off the road into an abandoned diner's parking lot late one night to catch a few ZZZs. His sleep is disturbed by the appearance of a flying saucer. Convinced that the Earth is under attack, David hurries into town and reports his sighting to the authorities who begrudgingly agree to investigate. Upon reaching the diner David discovers the diner's name has been changed and a newlywed couple camping nearby claim to have seen or heard nothing. Faced with no evidence, the cops assume that David had a hallucination. David returns the next evening to confront the newlyweds whom he is convinced are lying. David discovers the couple are in fact aliens disguised as humans and that the danger to the Earth is even greater than he imagined. The series progresses as sort of The Fugitive meets The X-files as David uncovers more of the alien's plan and yet is thwarted in every attempt to gain hard evidence. Gradually an Air Force UFO investigator begins to suspect that David is not just another crackpot.
