Led by a warrior named Andy (played by Charlize Theron), a covert group of tight-knit soldiers with a mysterious inability to die have fought to protect the mortal world for centuries. But when the team is tasked to take on an emergency mission and their extraordinary abilities are suddenly exposed, it’s up to Andy and new recruit Nile to help the group eliminate the threat of those who seek to replicate and monetize their power. This show is based on the acclaimed graphic novel by Greg Rucka and is a gritty, grounded, action-packed story that shows living forever is harder than it looks.
