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.

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).[/FONT][/FONT]

 [FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color=#333366 size=2][FONT color=#000000]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.
