La trama - Taken si svolge attraverso cinque decadi e quattro generazioni, e racconta la storia di tre famiglie: i Keys, i Crawfords e i Clarkes. Russell Keys, veterano della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, è tormentato dagli incubi del suo sequestro da parte degli alieni durante la Guerra; l’incidente Roswell trasforma Owen Crawford da ambizioso capitano dell’aeronautica militare in malvagio cospiratore; l’infelice Sally Clarke viene messa incinta da un alieno. Con il passare delle decadi, gli eredi di ognuno di loro continuano ad essere colpiti dalle macchinazioni degli alieni, che culminano con la nascita di Allie Keys, che è il prodotto finale degli esperimenti alieni e detiene la chiave del loro futuro.
