What Season 2 of Falling Skies

Six months after an alien invasion, Earth is devastated and electricity has disappeared. Tom Mason, a former history professor in Boston, survives with his sons while trying to recover Ben, who was captured by the invaders. To do so, he joins the 2nd Mass, a resistance of soldiers and civilians operating out of Boston. Tom agrees to negotiate with the invaders, but his comrades begin to doubt him when they discover a parasite implanted in his cornea. Meanwhile, the unit makes contact with the rebel skitters, whose leader seeks human support, though not everyone trusts this alliance. Weaver remains in command, and Pope, leading the Berserkers, stirs up suspicion.
