Genre:  Science Fiction / Drama / Action

Syfy and Trion Worlds have joined forces to create a transmedia revolution, creating a brave new universe shared by a riveting weekly drama and a pulse-pounding, cross-platform MMO shooter.

Enter a surreal landscape changed by the wreckage and refugees of distant worlds. Fifteen years of famine, disease, and war have passed since the Arkfall. Only now has civilization begun to emerge from the ashes.

In the year 2046, it's a new Earth - with new rules. Over thirty years after various alien races arrived on Earth, the landscape is completely altered, terraformed nearly beyond recognition. To the town of Defiance, on what used to be St. Louis, comes the mysterious Nolan (Grant Bowler) and his charge, Irisa (Stephanie Leonidas). As they settle into town - overseen by the mayor, Amanda Rosewater (Julie Benz) and filled with residents like the powerful Rafe McCawley (Graham Greene), enterprising lounge owner Kenya (Mia Kirshner) and the ambitious, alien Tarrs (Tony Curran and Jaime Murray) - events begin to unfold that threaten the fragile peace this border town has fought for.
