Plot
Jarod is a Pretender - a genius whose exceptionally high IQ allows him to master virtually any profession. Still on the run from his ex-captors, Jarod continues to help innocent victims even as he digs deeper into his own background and the secret inner workings of the Centre. At the same time, he also unccovers disturbing facts about Miss Parker's family, which cause her to question her own life's work. But, in the end, it's Jarod's long-lost father who suddenly reappears with news of the Centre's latest project - a shocking cloning experiment that has father and son teaming up in a desperate effort to shut down the research facility once and for all.
