Adevărul e undeva acolo și agenții FBI îl caută în acest serial sci-fi despre misiunea lor de a explica ce pare imposibil de explicat. Cazurile ciudate includ observarea OZN-urilor, întâlniri și răpiri extraterestre și orice altceva paranormal.
Newly appointed Deputy Director Kersh organizes a manhunt for Mulder and assigns Agent John Doggett to head the team. Scully and Skinner go along with the investigation but are warned by Kersh that they will be fired if anything is said about aliens. Scully, along with the Lone Gunmen, surmise that the Bounty Hunter is trying to erase all evidence of abductions, and they realize that he may be going after Gibson Praise, who is now living at a school in Arizona. Agent Doggett comes to the same conclusion and his team race Scully and Skinner to the school where they find Mulder trying to kidnap Gibson.
