Description: Refugees from a war-torn country start showing up to seek asylum in an American town.

The local sheriff with a past, a federal agent and a mother in search of her missing refugee daughter drive this allegory with a surprising conspiracy at the center. Wikipedia

Why Was It Cancelled? This show debuted with a decent lead-in from the American Idol reboot, but never managed to take advantage of its timeslot. Its premiere drew acceptable ratings (a 0.9 score based on same day viewing for the 18-49 demographic), but it dropped pretty quickly after that and ABC decided to send it to the Network Executioner. The cancellation was pretty much expected and I have not heard too much outcry from the fans, so it does not appear to have developed much of a following.
