It’s part of a large invading force of extraterrestrial origin. Former FBI agent Will Bowman (Josh Holloway) and his wife Katie (Sarah Wayne Callies) live in Los Angeles with their daughter and two sons. During the invasion, they’re separated from the younger boy and must risk everything to get him back. The rest of the USA Network cast includes Peter Jacobson, Amanda Righetti, Tory Kittles, Alex Neustaedter, and Isabella Crovetti-Cramp.
