A brother and sister who are on the run from a government agency who have been training children to be sleeper agents. They find themselves on board the Serenity, a sort of scavenger ship which sells it's services to the highest bidder. Unfortunately with the siblings on board the crew have to be very careful about who they do business with.

This film is a wonderful example of what happens when fans get angry about a TV show being axed! So high was the demand for a proper ending to the short-lived "Firefly" that Joss Whedon was coerced into making a movie to round off the tale. Although this is a nice piece of closure for fans of the show, it is still accessible to first time viewers.
