Fringe plot
The series revolves around FBI agent Olivia Dunham, the deranged professor Dr. Walter Bishop and his son Peter, who are tasked with some strange things happening around the world. All these strange events are apparently linked in one way or another: there is clearly a 'pattern' that runs across everything. The pattern can also be linked to Massive Dynamic, a company that holds a number of patents on a number of new technologies and conducts some mysterious research. All business revolves around Fringe science, a branch of science that is highly speculative and controversial. Examples of this branch of science are levitation, telepathy and invisibility.
