A tense, high-stakes alien invasion miniseries built on deception and existential threat, where humanity's survival hangs on discovering the truth before it's too late.

Fifty spaceships, each three miles across, hover ominously above Earth's major cities. The Visitors that emerge are humanlike in appearance and extend the hand of friendship. Our planet's resources are just what these aliens need to survive. And for its future survival, unsuspecting humankind will need... a miracle!
