Steve
Kowalski was many things: husband, father, engineer, software consultant, and
life-long agnostic. But things
changed. His son blamed him for his
wife’s untimely death and three years of living in denial shattered his
world. He was lost until he met Brock, an
explorer, sent by an ancient, star-faring race called the Guardians, who has
come to protect Earth from other, less benevolent aliens. Thus begins a journey that takes Steve across
the galaxy, but his real quest is a spiritual one. Do humans have a special destiny? Is there an omnipotent entity that has chosen
us as its special creation?
Episode 1 finds Steve alone in the Rockies in
search of peace, after his fragile emotional balance collapsed during a business
trip to Denver. There, he meets Brock,
who appears to be an average man with a
broken leg, but his ability to communicate telepathically convinces Steve that he
is an alien.
Brock’s flyer has been shot out of the sky by
the Luugs, aliens of a different species who will stop at nothing to acquire a
resource that can only be found on Earth.
Brock must stop them, but he cannot succeed without help. The impossibly unlikely circumstance that an
element vital to sustaining life exists in abundance only on Earth is a blow to
Steve’s agnosticism. Meeting Brock gives
his life new meaning, and he vows to help him defeat the Luugs. But the Luugs the launch an attack which
Steve and Brock are fortunate to survive.
Steve thinks he and Brock are alone in their fight,
but the episode ends when we learn that their encounter with the Luugs was
witnessed by the crew of an airliner.
