This one-hour suspense series centers on Jarod,
a genius whose exceptional intelligence allows him
to master virtually any profession. As a "pretender,"
Jarod uses his skills for his unique brand of eye
for an eye justice - while being stalked by agents
of a clandestine corporation known as the Centre.
Taken from his parents as a child prodigy in the
early 1960s, Jarod spent decades isolated under the
caring instruction of Sydney, a psychiatrist at the
Centre - a think-tank that sold the services of
Jarod's computerlike mind to the highest bidder.
As an adult, Jarod fled the Centre, and now uses his
genius ability to master any subject, enabling him
to assume various identities, such as a doctor,
an airline pilot or a race car driver.
Meanwhile, he continues to elude the Centre's alluring,
single-minded Miss Parker, who, with the assistance of
the Centre's computer genius, Broots, is desperately
trying to bring Jarod back. Always one step ahead of
the Centre, Jarod travels across the country seeking
out people to help, all the time trying to discover
the truth behind his own identity and the dark
secrets hidden within the Centre.
At the heart of his character, Jarod is a man searching
for truth, in his own life and in the world around him,
but through the eyes and heart of someone who is still
quite naïve and childlike in many ways.
