Defiance - Season 1

In the year 2046, it's a new Earth with new rules. Over thirty years have passed since various alien races - collectively called the Votans - arrived on Earth, and the landscape is completely altered, terraformed nearly beyond recognition. To the town of Defiance, sitting atop what used to be St. Louis, comes mysterious drifter-turned-lawkeeper Joshua Nolan (Grant Bowler) and his charge, and Irathient warriornamed Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas). As they settle into a town overseen by Mayor Amanda Rosewater (Julie Benz) and filled with residents like the powerful Rafe McCawley (Graham Greene), enterprising lounge owner Kenya (Mia Kirshner) and ambitious Castithan couple Datak and Stahma Tarrs (Tony Curran and Jaime Murray), events begin to unfold that threaten the fragile peace the border town has fought to uphold for so long.
