In the near future thousands of hairy humanoids appear from the Australian wilds. They are ostracized as "not human' and forced to live in horrible conditions. If they try to escape they are put in a nasty jail facility. What most people don't know, however, is that their genetics may unlock the secret to life-and not aging. We're first introduced to a "Hairy" family who makes an escape to the nearby city, where' they are set up in a crappy apartment-and when they are captured and separated, we find out what's going on. There's also the part aboriginal man who becomes the reluctant "Cleverman", a shaman who has access to the alternate realm where these strange people came from.
This is a bit similar to the Spanish THE REFUGEES, where people are treated like second class citizens and the recent THE COLONY, where humans are kept behind huge walls by an invading force. However, too much was left vague and I never really connected with any of the characters. It is an interesting TV show, though....
