When a group of women are abducted in the wintry hills of rural Virginia, the only clues to their disappearance are the grotesque human remains that begin to turn up in snow banks along the highway.
With officials desperate for any lead, a disgraced priest's questionable visions send local police on a wild goose chase and straight to a bizarre secret medical experiment that may or may not be connected to the women's disappearance. Its a case right out of The X-Files.
But the FBI closed down its investigations into the paranormal years ago. And the best team for the job is ex-agents Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully, who have no desire to revisit their dark past. Still, the truth of these horrific crimes is out there somewhere...and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it.

- In November 2001, the creators of the TV series The X-Files decided to pursue a second feature film adaptation of the series. Creator Chris Carter was expected to collaborate with screenwriter Frank Spotnitz, who had co-written the first film, on a script for the follow-up.
-
Production of the film was slated to begin after the completion of the ninth season, with a projected release in December 2003. In April 2002, Carter reiterated his desire and the studio's desire to do a sequel film. He planned to write the script over the summer and begin production in spring or summer 2003 for a 2004 release.
- In April 2004, actor David Duchovny explained that Carter had signed off on the premise. The following November, Carter revealed that the project was in the negotiation stage, explaining, "Because it's a sequel, there are peculiar and specific kinds of negotiations that are holding us up."
- In May 2006, Frank Spotnitz ascribed the continued delay to legal matters between Chris Carter and 20th Century Fox. By April 2007, Spotnitz confirmed that a script was finally in development.] The following October, the studio officially announced the production of the sequel film, whose premise would be kept under wraps.
- Carter, Duchovny, and 20th Century Fox, have spoken of the film as one that would stand alone and be apart from the mythology of the TV series.
- Done One is the codename for the project during its production.
