Aliens in America

On The CW's "Aliens in America," Justin Tolchuk (Dan Byrd, "The Hills Have Eyes") is a sensitive, lanky 16-year-old just trying to make it through the social nightmare of high school in Medora, Wisconsin, with the help of his well-meaning mom Franny (Amy Pietz, "Caroline in the City"), aspiring-entrepreneur dad Gary (Patrick Breen, "Kevin Hill"), and his popular sister Claire (Lindsey Shaw, "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide"), who is sweetly unaware of how good-looking she is.

When Franny signs up for the school's international exchange student program on "Aliens in America," she pictures an athletic, brilliant Nordic teen who will bestow instant coolness on her outsider son. However, when the Tolchuk's exchange student arrives on "Aliens in America," he turns out to be Raja Musharaff (Adhir Kalyan, "Fair City"), a 16-year-old Pakistani Muslim.

Despite the cultural chasm between them, Justin and Raja quickly develop an unlikely friendship on "Aliens in America" that just might allow them to navigate the minefield that is contemporary high school. It's going to be a very interesting year for Raja, Justin, his family and the entire population of Medora on "Aliens in America."

"Aliens in America" is produced by CBS Paramount Network Television Inc. and Warner Bros. Television. Tim Doyle ("Jake in Progress"), Moses Port ("Just Shoot Me," "Mad About You") and David Guarascio ("Just Shoot Me," "Mad About You") are executive producers. Luke Greenfield ("The Girl Next Door") directed the pilot for "Aliens in America."
