Summary
- “When Agent Dana Scully is assigned to work on the X-Files, Agent Fox Mulder suspects she's there to spy on him. Nevertheless, he introduces his new partner to his current case involving a series of mysterious murders in the Pacific Northwest. Although Mulder is searching for otherworldly answers, Scully is sure there is a more earthly scientific explanation. As their partnership continues, their opposing beliefs become the norm, with Mulder being "the believer" and Scully "the skeptic". But Scully's mysterious abduction and Mulder's near-death experience in the New Mexico desert will challenge those beliefs and make it clear that the discovery of the truth can be deadly.”
