Guide: Roswell
Synopsis:
A suspenseful drama that blends science fiction with the alienation
of young adulthood, this genre-bending one-hour series centers on
a group of otherworldly teenagers living among us in the tiny, but
notorious, southwestern town of Roswell, New Mexico. Last season,
the aliens were joined by others of their own kind who brought new
understanding to their destiny. Now, in the series’ second season,
with their enemy among them and the knowledge that their existence
is critical to the survival of an entire race, the war has officially
begun.
For the past 10 years, Max Evans (Jason Behr, "Dawson’s Creek"),
his sister Isabel (Katherine Heigl, "My Father, the Hero")
and his best friend Michael Guerin (Brendan Fehr, "Final Destination")
have been living a somewhat normal existence, with their hybrid
biology of human and alien DNA helping them to fit in. Surviving
descendants from beings on board the fiery crash of an alien spacecraft
that popular legend says plummeted to the desert in 1947, the three
teenagers have grown up quietly among the Roswell residents since
emerging from incubation.
Their peaceful
existence was shattered the day Max forged an otherworldly connection
with fellow classmate Liz Parker (Shiri Appleby, "A Time for
Dancing") by using his mysterious powers to heal her gunshot
wound, putting aside a pact of secrecy and ultimately risking his
own life. With this simple twist of fate, their secret was sacrificed
and their identity exposed, forced to trust Liz and her best friends
Maria DeLuca (Majandra Delfino, "Zeus & Roxanne")
and Alex Whitman (Colin Hanks, "Whatever It Takes") in
order to stay one step ahead of forces from this world and beyond
that would do anything to destroy them. They are also aided by Sheriff
Valenti (William Sadler, "The Green Mile," "The Shawshank
Redemption"), who is driven by a very personal need to learn
the truth about what happened on that fateful night in 1947.
Last season,
the aliens were joined by others, Tess Harding (Emilie de Ravin)
and the shape-shifting Nasedo. As the teens searched for answers
about who or what they are, where their home might be and why they
had been sent to Earth, they learned of their destiny, but it came
with a price. Now, Max must decide whether to live a normal life
as a human with Liz or give up the only girl he has ever loved and
accept his fate as a leader of aliens.
