Summary:
Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner) has everything: a man she loves; the pursuit of a graduate degree; and the job of a lifetime. Or so she thinks. Recruited several years ago into a heavily guarded, classified section of what she believes is the CIA, Sydney is a beautiful, brainy, ass-kicking, power-punching spy girl. As an agent for SD-6, she's sworn to secrecy regarding her employment. Her world, however, instantly crashes when Sydney shares her secret career with her fiancé, Dr. Danny Hecht, and he's brutally assassinated as a result. Through this, Sydney discovers SD-6 is not the government agency she thought and insinuates herself into the real CIA as a double agent. Sydney is assigned her operations handler, Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan), and together they fight for justice with the ultimate goal of bringing down SD-6 forever.
