Fleeing from the corrupted and oppressed world, a group of war veterans by the company of Malcolm, who is known as Mal, as he has a small space vehicle, by which they manage to wander the universe, searching for the living sources, but their life turns down, upon losing their way in such a weird galaxy, shocking by what they see, the thing that makes their fear and worry.
What's great about the series, along with the fantastic writing and casting, is that you don't have to be a fan of the sci-fi genre to enjoy Firefly. In fact, it's almost better if you're not.
