LOGLINE:
NTAC races against the clock to stop a group of fanatics targeting 4400s.
SYNOPSIS:
A series of firebombings threatens the lives of the 4400 after their names and addresses are made public by a muckraking journalist named Barbara Yates. As Tom, Diana, and Ryland scramble to stop the bombings, Tom must also deal with the erratic and disturbing behavior of his newly-awakened son, Kyle, while Diana also struggles to be a good surrogate mother to Maia. Their work is complicated even further by the arrival of the aggressive and ambitious Warren Lyttel, a Homeland Security agent from Washington who threatens to take over responsibility for the 4400.
In response to the explosions, Jordan Collier, the charismatic leader of the 4400, tries to provide his fellow returnees with a safe and secure place to live. Richard and Lily, now bombed out of their apartment, are recruited to join Jordan, but soon question his motives and judgment as the bombings intensify. Meanwhile, Shawn and Nikki's relationship heats up with a fire of its own.
As the bombings get bigger, more frequent, and more dangerous, Tom and Diana race against time to prevent the 4400, including Richard, Lily, Maia, and Shawn, from being swept away in the flames.
