The premise
The exploits of FBI Special Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully who investigate X-Files: marginalized, unsolved cases involving paranormal phenomena. Mulder believes in the existence of aliens and the paranormal while Scully, a skeptic, is assigned to make scientific analyses of Mulder's discoveries that debunk Mulder's work and thus return him to mainstream cases.
Horror Vault's take
Deep within the FBI, two agents with opposing worldviews are assigned to the bureau's most baffling unsolved cases — encounters with the paranormal, the unexplained, and forces that powerful people would rather keep buried. Believer Fox Mulder and skeptic Dana Scully form an unlikely partnership that pulls them into a vast shadow world of alien conspiracies, monsters, and phenomena science struggles to explain. Each case peels back another layer of a cover-up that may reach the highest levels of government — if they can survive long enough to find the truth.
