Resident Alien background

Resident Alien

An extraterrestrial crash-lands in rural Colorado, adopting the guise of a local doc and grapples with ethical quandaries over his secret mission.

An alien crash-lands on Earth with a mission to eliminate humanity and assumes Dr. Harry Vanderspeigel's identity to avoid detection by the residents of Patience, Colorado while searching for pieces of his ship buried in the snow-covered mountains. He learns "to be human" by watching Law & Order and imitating Jerry Orbach. One day, Sheriff Mike "Big Black" Thompson and Deputy Liv Baker arrive at his isolated cabin after a murder in town requires a doctor. They need help as the victim is identified as the town's current physician. The new doctor finds himself spending time with the townspeople, learning more about them and what makes humans unique. However, this revelation brings him to a crossroads; he must decide whether to continue his mission to destroy Earth or stay true to his newfound understanding of humanity.
