It centers on a mysterious alien who crash-lands on Earth with a simple mission: wipe out humanity. But things get complicated when he takes on the identity of a dead doctor in a sleepy Colorado town.
Now posing as the eccentric Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle (Alan Tudyk), he must navigate small-town life, solve a murder he didn’t commit and keep his true identity hidden.
All of this, while grappling with a strange and unexpected development: he's starting to like humans.

As Harry struggles to blend in, only one person can see through his disguise: a sharp and fearless 10-year-old boy called Max (Judah Prehn).
With government agents on his trail, Harry faces a choice that could change the fate of Earth forever.
