OUT THERE

OUT THERE
By Alexander Drake

GENRE: Sci-fi, Comedy
LOGLINE:

Farmer Doug Johns' Midwestern life is thrown upside down when an alien spacecraft crash-lands on his property as the FBI storm the scene. When Doug awakes after the close encounter, a mind-meld, and an unexplained explosion, he believes he is an FBI agent and starts hunting reports of alien sightings, looking for answers.

SYNOPSIS:

Doug Johns is a blue-collar farmer. Living a happy life in an honest

career field, he has no interest or experience in aliens or superstitions.

When an alien spaceship crashes on his farm, Doug investigates and is struck unconscious by direct contact with the alien.

This contact knocks Doug out of the crash site and forms a mental telepathic link with the surviving extraterrestrial. The FBI’s extraterrestrial holistic (x-hole) field agents arrive at the crash site, capture the alien, and excavate the spacecraft to take to an undisclosed location.

When Doug wakes up, he finds the spacecraft and alien gone, but seems to have a vast amount of knowledge about the FBI, their x-hole division, and non-human technology.

Doug is met at his farm by three geeky internet alien hunters in a work van who were tracking the UFO that crashed on his farm.

Together, their fervor for proving aliens exist, and Doug’s newfound knowledge and identity, take them on a journey to stay a step ahead of the FBI and rescue the captured alien.

The style of the show is in line with other one-hour comedic genre-procedurals such as Supernatural, Eureka, and Warehouse 13.

Each episode, there’s a “case of the week” in an episodic format.

The serial story to the series lies in Doug eventually learning that he is mentally bonded to the alien, who is feeding him information about the FBI’s actions to aid in his rescue, and that several other alien species have, and are, landing/crashing on the Earth.
