Los Angles social media influencer El Martin seems to live the perfect aesthetic life. But what El wants more than anything is to find something real to make her heart race in a way it hasn't in years. She doesn't expect that feeling to come from capturing footage of an unidentified flying... thing, much less from the charming Man in Black who keeps following her around. Agent Carter Brody is trying his best to keep the Private Intelligence Sector afloat by dragging their hopelessly out-of-date office into this century, even though what he really wants to do is follow in his father's footsteps by identifying and hiding extraterrestrial sightings. He gets his chance after being assigned to El's case, where he is stopped in his tracks by her ingenuity and confidence, but also by the unnerving coincidence of how her sighting looks eerily like what he saw right before a family tragedy. The deeper El and Carter fall into the mystery, the harder it is for them to ignore the chemistry growing between them as their own alien feelings start to feel dangerously terrestrial.
