Serenity

Captain Malcolm “Mal” Reynolds makes a living transporting cargo through the outskirts of space with his small crew, staying clear of the Alliance regime that controls much of the galaxy. Their routine changes when they take on River Tam, a fugitive with psychic abilities and a dangerous connection to a secret Alliance laboratory. As an Alliance agent begins tracking the ship, Mal and his crew must keep River hidden while trying to learn why the regime is so determined to capture her.
