V 2009

Without warning, a fleet of huge alien spaceships arrive at Earth and position themselves over 29 cities across the globe. Anna, the beautiful leader of the alien "Visitors", speaks to the people of Earth and declares they have come in peace. Explaining that they are far from their homeworld and require certain minerals from Earth to sustain themselves, the Visitors offer to share their technology with humanity in return. Within a short time, the Visitors are widely welcomed as they offer their medical technology to provide miraculous cures for conditions such as blindness and paralysis. Many people begin to view the Visitors as saviors of humanity, but not everybody is convinced. FBI agent Erica Evans and priest Father Jack Landry meet resistance fighter Georgie Sutton, and discover that the Visitors are actually a race of malevolent reptilians underneath their seemingly human features. Worse still, they have secretly been infiltrating Earth for years.

Erica is assigned to protect the Vs after they receive a death threat, as her son Tyler begins to feel closer to Visitor youth leader Lisa, who is revealed to be Anna's daughter. Father Jack and Ryan each search for more Resistance fighters.

Anna wants Lisa to bring Tyler up to the mothership for an important experiment with Lisa. A warehouse full of flu vaccine donated by the Visitors is destroyed by Erica and her accomplices after it is discovered that the Visitors are using it to inject human beings with a biological "tag" so that they can be traced anywhere. Father Jack is stabbed in his church by a Visitor agent. Meanwhile, far out in space, a massive armada of Visitor motherships awaits.

Erica finds her life in danger when she's attacked at home. A dangerous new member, Kyle Hobbes, is recruited for the Resistance, as the Visitors shore up their defenses. Anna wonders why Chad hasn't followed up on his diagnosed aneurysm. Ryan's concern grows over Val's "abnormal" pregnancy. Planning to breed more soldiers for their cause, Anna mates with one of her subjects - and then devours him.

Anna introduces her "live aboard" program and invites select groups of humans to stay on each of the 29 motherships under the pretense of allowing them to observe the Visitors' way of life. Ryan must deal with the fact that Valerie’s pregnancy is wildly accelerated. Georgie sacrifices himself to save Ryan and is captured by the Visitors.

Erica, Ryan and Jack go on a harrowing mission to find the legendary John May (Michael Trucco) in order to rescue Georgie. Anna brings Chad aboard the mothership for a story on her Live Aboard Program, and Tyler confronts his mom about his mysterious past.

Chad and Anna are in Geneva for the U.N. Summit, where Anna is going to present a gift of "Blue Energy" technology to the world. It is there that the U.N. Secretary General reveals his beliefs that the Vs aren't just visiting Earth. Erica learns that the V Task Force is investigating The Fifth Column. Valerie goes on the run, knowing something is different about her baby and doubting she can trust Ryan.

Erica, Father Jack and Hobbes realize that the Vs know names and addresses of The Fifth Column members and must take drastic measures to protect them. Ryan finally reveals to Val that he's a Visitor. He tries to save Val by bringing her to his friends, but the two are tracked by one of Anna's soldiers. Chad begins the process aboard the mothership's medical bay to have his aneurysm removed, filming it for his TV news show. Soon after, Chad shows his gratitude to Anna and expresses a desire to expose The Fifth Column as terrorists.

Erica, Ryan, Father Jack and Kyle Hobbes learn Anna has sent a shuttle filled with a deadly V tracker team to find them, and must figure out how to stop the shuttle from landing. Anna is tipped off about the attack, and instead of avoiding the attack, she sends a decoy shuttle. Anna gives Tyler his invitation to the Live Aboard Program, but Lisa makes a surprise confession to Tyler. Chad confronts Father Jack on what he knows about The Fifth Column. The FBI forms a task force to track and capture Fifth Column members. Erica and Agent Sarita Malik are assigned to head the task force.

Anna's daughter is the victim of a violent anti-V attack, but it was actually Anna who had her assaulted in order to use it for publicity. Erica and her Resistance cell look for a scientist who may have created a biological weapon that the Visitors fear. Kyle makes a deal with Marcus.

Val, whose water has just broken, is captured by Anna's soldier and taken to the mothership, where she serves as bait to draw Ryan to Anna. Erica seizes an invitation to dinner with Anna and Lisa as an opportunity to destroy Anna's soldier eggs. Chad begins to catch on to how he is being used. Marcus tries to sway Kyle to work for the Visitors by revealing a shocking truth about Kyle's past exploits. Anna gives Valerie a lethal injection after her baby is delivered. The Fifth Column gains a new ally. Anna's warrior eggs are destroyed by Erica using a blue energy grenade, killing all but 12 of them. Joshua tells Erica to kill him to make her seem innocent, but he is later brought back to life by the V doctors. Anna is horrified upon being overcome by human emotion for her lost eggs. An enraged Anna removes the cloaking on a massive fleet of Visitor ships waiting in space and makes Earth's skies turn blood red, signaling the beginning of a yet to be seen event.
