action

Cade Foster is actually a completely normal man, he has a wife and a job as a security specialist. But one day his life begins to change. His house is broken into and nothing is stolen, he is fired when his boss finds out about his criminal past and then he meets people who warn him about an alien experiment. Cade comes into possession of an old book which is said to have been written by Nostradamus . In this book Nostradamus predicted the destruction of the earth in three waves. After Cade and his wife discover wiretapping systems in their house, the two spend the night in a motel. That night, Cade realizes that the woman he thinks is his wife is actually an alien. His real wife was killed by the aliens and they left enough evidence to suggest that Cade was the culprit.

Cade finds out that he is one of 117 extraterrestrial subjects to test the will of humans. He is also the only one who survived this experiment.

He finds an ally in the fight against the invasion: Crazy Eddie. This publishes on his website, the Paranoid Times, Foster's experiences and findings.

In the final episode of the second season, the two take over a television station to tell the world the truth. The aliens' attempts to prevent this fail, but Foster is shot before he can tell the world the truth.

The third season has never been translated into German and has only been shown in America so far. In this the story is brought to an end. So you find out that Eddie did not kill Cade, but a doppelganger. Furthermore, two new characters appear. Jordan Radcliff, leader of the Raven Nation who oppose the Gua with Cade, and Mabus. Mabus is the leader of the Gua and is pushing for the third wave to begin soon. Overall, the 3rd season is very gloomy. Each episode builds on each other and usually has an open ending.
