Genre:
Action + Sci-Fi

Synopsis:
The series stars Loken as Jane Vasco, a DEA agent who is framed for drug crimes and forced to join a shadow agency of the United States government led by Andre McBride (Rob Stewart),in order to track down "Neuros" — mutants with superhuman neurological based powers, which encompass telekinesis and telepathy as well as other mental powers. Vasco and the others on McBride's team of agents work from an abandoned subway platform. During her first case with the new team, Vasco discovers that she too has superhuman abilities, namely that she is able to recover from injuries that would kill a normal human, as evident by her falling out a 40 story window and surviving the impact. However, despite being virtually indestructible, she still feels pain and her rehealing ability is not immediate, as she did not immediately sit up from the impact of the 40 story fall and only regained consciousness some hours later. She was still healing from the impact far later in the episode, barely able to walk back to the team's locale. Jane thus begins a journey to learn the source of her superhuman powers while also tracking down Neuros. These Neuros, while generally well-meaning, pose a threat to society because of their uncontrollable powers.
