SYNOPSIS

Firefly is the third TV series from Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel. A hip, sci-fi western set 500 years in the future. In the wake of universal civil war, Firefly centres on the crew of Serenity, a small transport spaceship that doesn't have a planet to call home. Thrust together by necessity, the disparate crew seek adventure and the good life, but face constant challenges on the new frontiers, 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.
