A military small town in the midst of the Cold War, small town Granite Flats, Colorado is the subject of a mystery suspense drama, created by BYUtv as their first scripted television show. The drama follows the lives of some the most important people in the town - and there's a lot of important people - including Chief of Police John Sanders, thirteen year old sleuths Timmy Sanders, Madiline Andrews, and Arthur Milligan, and Arthur's mother and military nurse Beth Milligan and her charge Frank Quincy.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Shortly after the arrival of the Milligans into the town, a shooting star comes down crashing into the town. As the town tries to figure out what's going on, however, it's revealed the town is also a veritable (and metaphorical) Wonderland of Cold War secrets where few of its inhabitants are who they seem to be at first glance.As it is with BYUtv, the show has been geared toward family watching and has no smoking, minimal sexuality, and alcohol is looked down upon, instead using water and lemonade as main drinks. The show has received numerous awards and is on Netflix. Three seasons have been released so far, with the project beginning in 2012 and propelling forward as one of the biggest projects put together by BYUtv, recruiting big name actors such as Cary Elwes as CIA agent Jim Ashmead and Christopher Lloyd as Professor Hargraves.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Chekhov's Gun: Arthur's gadgets. Using the telescope to look at the stars, the telescope comes back in season two to get significant information from Dr. Whittison's house right across the street. His helmet, embedded with flashlights, to explore later is used to search Slim's house.

comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: In a non-violent version of this trope, the FBI and all the townsfolk in on the secrets encircling Granite Flats confront Dr. Whittison about his status as the Soviet's Double Agent in an intense showdown/interrogation. All his attempts at defeating their arguments are quickly rendered naught, and he eventually admits to his crimes and willingly surrenders himself to the FBI.

Beware the Nice Ones: Timmy has this "golly gee" earnest niceness to him, but when Arthur and Wallace get into a fight, Timmy bites Wallace's ear. Even his father is taken aback when he finds out.
