Beyond explanation ... beyond understanding ... lies the truth.

The investigation draws her into a conspiracy larger than she ever imagined, and the child's identity is at the center of it all.

In the series premiere, "Pilot," Jo Evans (Allison Tolman), a whip-smart police chief, plunges her family into a deepening mystery when she discovers a young girl (Alexa Swinton) the night of an inexplicable plane crash in the quiet northeastern town and decides to protect her. Who is this child? Where did she come from and what does she know? Benny Gallagher (Owain Yeoman), an investigative reporter, intrudes into Jo's inquiry with his own take on the shadowy evidence.

As the spellbinding mystery unfolds, the family's relationships are tested, unexplained events question reality, and everyone chases the shocking answers. What happens when a regular family is gripped by unimaginable circumstances?
