Set in 1960s America against the backdrop of the Cold War, 'Dark Skies' follows John Loengard and Kimberly Sayers, two ordinary people who accidentally uncover a terrifying, covert extraterrestrial conspiracy. After a harrowing encounter with hostile alien beings known as the Hive, the couple is forced to go on the run, pursued by a secretive government agency called Majestic 12. As they travel across the country, John and the idealistic Kimberly try to expose the truth about a hidden alien presence that has covertly manipulated human history for decades, all while staying one step ahead of both otherworldly threats and shadowy federal agents.
