prehistory

Around 2015, an alien species landed on earth that calls itself the Taelons . They have made contact with the people and are actively involved in the culture. They give people more advanced technology, fight hunger and disease in the human population. But not all earthly citizens blindly follow the promises of the so-called Companions : A resistance movement led by billionaire Jonathan Doors does not believe the good intentions of the Taelons and tries to uncover the real reasons for the arrival of the Taelons on earth.

season 1

Former police officer William Boone works as a double agent for the resistance movement, together with pilot Lili Marquette. Both are employed by the Companions , Boone as a so-called companion protector , for which he got a CVI (cyberviral implant), but this was manipulated by the doctor Belman, who also works for the resistance, in such a way that the motivational imperative is inactive and Boone thus his actions and Can make decisions without the influence of the Taelons. Boone only agreed to work as a companion protector after his wife was killed in a mysterious accident. He was recruited at Da'an's personal wishes and thus also became his bodyguard. In order to be able to carry out this task with high efficiency, a biologically bred weapon that can only be controlled by means of the CVI, a so-called Skrill , was implanted in his right forearm, which, depending on the will of the wearer, can both stun and kill with an energy pulse.

Season 2 to 4

From the second season, the role of Boone as an important member of the resistance movement is taken over by Liam Kincaid. This is the "child" of companion protectors Beckett and Ha'gel, who descended the last of an ancient, Taelon-like species, the Kimera, which was however wiped out by the Taelons. As a result, Kincaid is not a pure human, but a hybrid of Kimera (30%) and human (70%). He also inherited the Shaqarava , an organ that enables its wearer to fire a concentrated burst of energy, from his father . Kincaid's childhood lasted only a few days, he was raised by the resistance and consequently belongs to it. In contrast to other people, Liam does not have a double helix, but 3 strands of DNA.

Season 5

In the fifth season, Liam Kincaid is believed to be dead. The central character of the series is now Renee Palmer. Their opponents are no longer the Taelons, but the Atavus, to whom the Taelons have mutated. The aggressive Atavus are led by Howlyn, who finds a supporter in Ronald Sandoval. This final season, some of the main characters from previous seasons, such as Boone, Zo'or and Kincaid, return for guest appearances.
