Storyline

In the future, a spaceship called Serenity is harboring a passenger with a deadly secret. Six rebels on the run. An assassin in pursuit. When the renegade crew of Serenity agrees to hide a fugitive on their ship, they find themselves in an awesome action-packed battle between the relentless military might of a totalitarian regime who will destroy anything - or anyone - to get the girl back and the bloodthirsty creatures who roam the uncharted areas of space. But, the greatest danger of all may be on their ship. Written by Anthony Pereyra {hypersonic91@yahoo.com}

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When The Operative is reviews Mal's file, it lists his Independence service rank as Captain. In every other reference in Firefly and Serenity, Mal's army rank was Sergeant, not Captain. See more »
