A Soviet space capsule from a forgotten Cold War-era space mission crashes to Earth in rural Canada. Suspecting terrorism, a team of Homeland Security agents are sent to investigate and contain the damage. When a boy with an impossible story is found inside the capsule, they realize they might be in over their heads.

Extra-terrestrial? It's actually a little weirder than that.
