Plot Synopsis
When prehistoric creatures start appearing in Vancouver, the Special Projects Group, a team of animal experts and scientists, investigate paranormal events. Evan Cross, an inventive genius who made a fortune in cutting edge micro-tech, recruits a team of skilled experts for his Special Projects Group, which works in secret from the Tank, a repurposed lab at Evan's company, Cross Photonics. Haunted by personal tragedy, Evan has turned his talents to a new goal: dedicating his life to investigating anomalies and protecting the public from the dangerous creatures that come through them. His team includes: Dylan Weir, a confident and athletic Predator Control Officer, who handles wild animals straying from their habitats and has a fascination with animal behaviour, which gives her keen insight into her friends and colleagues -- often more than they would like; Mac Rendell, a charming and cheeky British ex-pat, who finally feels like he's found his place in the world after he's assigned to the Special Projects Group and faced with handling Dinosaur incursions; Toby Nance, Evan's right-hand woman in the lab, who is the whiz kid responsible for building the gadgets that help the team find and understand Anomalies; Angelika Finch, the striking and obsessively-organized financial whiz at Cross Photonics, whose business acumen turned Evan's technical genius into such a profitable business; and Lieutenant Ken Leeds, the Air Command officer in charge of the Canadian government's seemingly-defunct bureau of the unexplained -- known as Project Magnet -- who offers his services as liaison between the government and Evan's Special Projects Group. Syfy aired the U.S. premiere of this series on Saturday, June 8, 2013 at 10pm ET/PT.
