Overview

Alien abductions, paranormal phenomena and the just plain weird: these are the cases that make up the X-Files. Special Agent Fox "Spooky" Mulder has made them his life's work; Dana Scully is assigned to apply a rigorous scientific approach to his investigations. Their cases lead them into dark, dangerous territory and test their friendship to the limit. Things are no less challenging for later recruits John Doggett and Monica Reyes. With deep-rooted government conspiracies, a shadowy Syndicate and powerful figures such as the Cigarette Smoking Man working against them, can they ever hope to triumph in their search for "the truth"?
