Synopsis:
Set 500 years in the future, in the wake of a universal civil
war, FIREFLY centers on the crew of Serenity, a small transport
spaceship that doesn't have a planet to call home. CAPTAIN MALCOLM
"MAL" REYNOLDS (Nathan Fillion), a defeated soldier who opposed
the unification of the planets by the totalitarian governed Alliance,
will undertake any job -- legal or not -- to stay afloat and put
bread on the table.
Mal's
crew includes his fiercely loyal second-in-command ZOE (Gina Torres),
who served beside him in the war and owes him her life; WASH (Alan
Tudyk), the ship's easygoing pilot and Zoe's husband; KAYLEE (Jewel
Staite), the ship's young and effervescent engineer; and JAYNE
(Adam Baldwin), a tough mercenary whose loyalties lie with Mal
-- for now.
With prostitution now legal among the planets, the beautiful and
sophisticated INARA (Morena Baccarin), has her own shuttle docked
on the ship and shares friendly, yet non-sexual relationships
with the crew while serving as a paid companion to the Serenity's
guests. The wealthy and secretive SIMON (Sean Maher) joined the
crew as the ship's doctor in the hopes of protecting his emotionally
fragile, yet intellectually gifted younger sister, RIVER (Summer
Glau).
Rounding out the ship's permanent denizens is BOOK, "The Shepherd"
(Ron Glass), a preacher who is on board to spread the Word of
God to the
far reaches of the galaxy.
Thrust
together by necessity, these disparate men and women are seeking
adventure and the good life, but face constant challenges on the
new frontier, such as avoiding capture by the Alliance, and evading
death at the hands -- and mouths -- of the Reavers -- human, flesh-eating
mongrels who live on the fringes of the universe.
