Dive into the mystery of “Who is Piper?” when the ABC’s new series, “Emergence,” premieres Tuesday night.

Written and executive produced by Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters, “This character-driven genre thriller follows a police chief who takes in a young child she finds near the site of a mysterious accident who has no memory of what has happened,” according to the synopsis. “The investigation draws her into a conspiracy larger than she ever imagined, and the child’s identity is at the center of it all.”
