On the TV series "Dark Angel" that ran from 2000 to 2002 and features counter cultural antiheroes trapped in a dehumanizing high-tech society, a covert government military project (Project Manticore) is at work. Genetically enhanced warriors are being created. To keep track of almost all of its soldiers, Manticore uses bar codes. Max Guevara (Jessica Alba) as the star character is no exception she has a bar code on the nape of her neck. Her identifying number sequence is (332960073452).

Max is one of the peak humans; she has amazingly high dexterity and strength. She can go up against and take out policemen and soldiers without breaking a sweat. What she has lost in military training, she more than makes up for with her street conditioning (as evidenced when she beat her own clone in a big fight). Most of all she is extremely fast, and has heightened personal senses. Her thievery skills are also without compare.

At the start of the TV series, which takes place in the near-future, the protagonist (Max Guevara) begins working against an evil entity and its 'Project Manticore'. She must act to discover her destiny and that of mankind. She was designed to be the perfect soldier…a human weapon… then she escaped. In her near future in a broken world, Max is haunted by her past. She cannot run, she must fight!
