recurring characters:
Roswell -- or, as I like to think of it, "My So-Called Planet" -- successfully blends a number of genres: teenage angst, soap opera, science fiction, small town melodrama, and adolescent-centered comedy.
"In the tiny town of Roswell, New Mexico, teenagers Liz Parker and Max Evans connect when he saves her life by risking his own. While waiting tables at her father's Crashdown Caf‚, Liz is caught in the crossfire of an argument between two customers and shot. Max, a classmate at Roswell High, mysteriously heals Liz's wound with only the touch of his hand.(WB press materials)"Liz's world turns upside down when she learns that Max, his sister Isabel, and his friend Michael Guerin are descendents of the aliens who crashed their spacecraft into the desert in the famous 1947 incident. The three teenagers had grown up quietly among the residents of Roswell, experiencing all the trials of human adolescence.
"In the moment that Max steps forward and saves Liz, he changes his life, and the lives of everyone around him, forever. Liz is also changed and the connection between the two is both thrilling and frightening. Max's life and his heart are in Liz's hands.
"Through his impulsive act, Max has put not only himself, but also Isabel and Michael at risk. The secret they have kept for so long is now in danger, and they must learn to trust Liz and her flighty best friend Maria De Luca with their lives. Soon the FBI and local officials begin to close in. Leading the charge is Sheriff Valenti, who is driven by a very personal need to expose the truth about that fateful night in 1947.
"The danger increases as the teens confront their overwhelming need to find the truth about themselves-who they are, and where their home might be. The revelation that one of their own survived the crash gives them new hope of gaining understanding.
"The daily risk of discovery that Max, Isabel and Michael share begins to create separation between them and Liz and Maria. The divisive secret also excludes Alex Whitman, Liz and Maria's childhood friend, and Kyle Valenti, Liz's steady boyfriend and the son of the town sheriff, who find themselves confused and left in the dark."
