A prince (Peter Barton) from the planet Quadros is sent to earth to develop his telepathic and telekinetic powers so that he can one day defeat the invaders that have taken over his planet. Since he appears human it's easy for him to blend into the local high school population, as it is for his guardian (Lou Gossett Jr), who poses as the school's science teacher. Pam Elliott (Amy Steel of Friday the 13th Part 2) is the love-interest. Every so often an alien--usually in human form--tries to kill him. The first season is typical fish-out-of-water stuff while in the second season young Matthew uses his powers to help the government (as is later done in Superboy Tv series). A similar premise was used in the Roswell series as well as the more recent movie I Am Number Four.
