Star-Crossed

Star-Crossed is an upcoming American science fiction romance television series created by Meredith Averill. It is set to air in the fall, 2013.

Plot
Emery, a normal human, and Roman, an alien from the species "Atrian", met as children when Roman's alien spaceship crash-landed in Emery's small hometown. Emery protected Roman until the authorities found Roman and captured him. Emery thought Roman died that fateful day. However, Roman, and other Atrians, were trained in a heavily-guarded secure camp called the Sector to accommodate human life.

Ten years later, 2024, a group of Atrians are enrolled in a suburban human high school, with the goal of testing the feasibility of human/alien integration. One of these Atrians is Roman. Emery is amazed to learn that Roman was not killed by the authorities and is one of the Atrians that now goes to her school. Emery and Roman's bond is quickly rekindled - in a school and a society that distrusts everything about the Atrians. Their relationship is threatened by the small-mindedness of their respective communities and the political agendas of people in power. Despite this, their bond becomes increasingly strong and increasingly dangerous.

As an epic Romeo and Juliet romance unfolds, a violent encounter between Roman’s father and Emery’s father occurs in the Sector.
