More Information

The show revolved around a young man named Jarod, who was abducted from his parents as a child and raised by an organization called "The Centre". Jarod's handlers at the Centre used his beyond-genius IQ to train him to become a "Pretender", someone who can integrate himself into any walk of life, who can become an expert in any field - no matter how complex.

When Jarod, a compassionate and caring man, eventually discovered the Centre was using the information gathered from his "simulations" for nefarious purposes, he soon escaped. Traveling around the United States, adopting various identities, he used his gift to help people in need, haunted not only by the blood on his hands but also by operatives from the Centre, who pursued him relentlessly throughout the show's run.

Despite being an adult, a large facet of Jarod's character is his childlike wonder and curiousity. Having been mostly raise by "The Centre" in a controlled, almost laboratory environment, Jarod is very naive about normal life and human behavior. He is fascinated by ordinary toys and everyday gadgets and often incorporates them in his booby traps. He once re-formulated fly-paper glue to be super strong and covered the floor of his abandoned apartment with it. When the goons from the Centre arrived, they got stuck to the floor.
