Facing life without parole for a crime he ultimately didn't commit, crook Darien Fawkes is offered a pardon if he'll agree to participate in his brother's medical experiment: the insertion into his brain of a synthetic gland which secretes a light-bending substance called Quicksilver, which renders whoever or whatever is cloaked in it invisible. But Quicksilver also breaks down Darien's sanity without the regular injection of a counter-agent, and when terrorists gun down everyone involved in the project and steal all the relevant information, Darien is recruited by the experiment's backers, an ultra-secret and under-funded intelligence agency subsidized by the Department of Fish and Game, to stop the terrorists, avenge his brother's death, and get a fresh hit of the counter-agent. —Jeff Cross <blackjac_1998@yahoo.com>

Best show ever created!!!!!!

Best writing ever, best acting ever, best ever!!! To begin, this show has the best cast chemistry I've ever seen. The plots are original, and entertaining. You get humor, drama, all of it, every episode. You can relate to the characters, and it's just a good old time. Fawkes and Hobbes are the BEST duo ever. I've never seen a duo as good together as they are. The scripts are brilliant, and I couldn't picture better actors to play them out. Every person I introduce the show to has gotten into heavy like me!! It's just an awesome show that everyone can love!!! I miss it dearly, but there are ways to get hold of it. I highly suggest EVERYONE watch it!!! Even though it's gone, you can still enjoy past episodes, over, and over again. You can also learn lessons from them as well. There isn't one episode I hate. I love them all!!! Best show ever!!! See it!!!!!
