Quote:

After losing her research grant, biomedical scientist Liz Ortecho returns to her hometown of Roswell to work in her family's diner. There, she reconnects with her high school crush, deputy sheriff Max Evans, her old friend Maria DeLuca, and her former boyfriend Kyle Valenti. When a gunman shoots and fatally wounds Liz, Max is forced to use his healing abilities to save her, leaving him weakened until his sister, Isobel, nurses him back to health. She and Max's younger brother, Michael, confront Max over the wisdom of using his abilities to save Liz's life. Max becomes overburdened by guilt and decides to tell Liz who he truly is, unaware that Liz has secretly taken a DNA sample from him and analyzed it. He takes her to the site of the "birth" of him and his siblings, and reveals that his powers also create a temporary psychic link between him and Liz, allowing her to view his memories. Kyle, having uncovered Liz's analysis, is taken to "Project Shepherd", a government initiative to track extraterrestrials. At their high school reunion, Isobel warns Max to break things off with Liz before she learns the truth behind her sister Rosa's death.
