Plot Synopsis

Based on the comic book series of the same name, RESIDENT ALIEN is a one-hour dramedy series that follows Harry, an alien that crash lands on Earth and passes himself off as a small-town human doctor in Patience, Colorado. Arriving with a secret mission to kill all humans, Harry starts off living a simple life... but things get a bit rocky when he's roped into solving a local murder and realizes he needs to assimilate into his new world. As he does so, he begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his mission and asking the big life questions like: "Are human beings worth saving?" and "Why do they fold their pizza before eating it?"
