'Fringe' Synopsis:
When Flight 627 lands at Boston’s Logan Airport with no signs of life on it, a special task force led by FBI Special Agent Olivia Dunham is sent to investigate. Olivia's partner, Special Agent John Scott, is almost killed during the investigation, which leads her to seek the help of Dr. Walter Bishop, an incredibly brilliant man who has been institutionalized for the last 17 years.
Since Bishop's son Peter is the only person who can arrange a meeting, Olivia is forced to let him in on this mysterious situation.
