Sydney’s life begins spinning out of control after telling her fiancé that she’s a spy discovering that SD-6 is not what it seems.

Sydney Bristow (Jennifer Garner, “Pearl Harbor”) a vivacious, athletic grad student, discovers that her not-so-typical after-school job as an agent for SD-6, a top-secret division of the CIA, holds some deadly secrets that not only put her life in danger but also threaten the security of the free world, on the premiere of “Alias,” a thoroughly contemporary, high-octane series from J.J. Abrams, the creator of “Felicity.”

Recruited freshman year, the then shy and lonely Sydney jumped at the chance to add some meaning and excitement to her life. Little did she know how great she’d be at espionage or how much she’d love it. Today Sydney is no longer shy or alone. Boyfriend Danny has just proposed and her best friend Francie (Merrin Dungey) couldn’t be happier. Her friend Will, (Bradley Cooper), however, has to feign happiness, keeping his unrequited love for her to himself. Sydney now finds herself facing a moral dilemma: What does she want from the rest of her life, and what does she tell her friends and would-be fiancé?

Sydney’s SD-6 partner, Dixon (Carl Lumbly, “Cagney & Lacey,” “Buffalo Soldiers”), a devoted family man, warns her not to reveal her secret to Danny, and Sydney knows that SD-6 leader Sloane (Ron Rifkin, “L.A. Confidential”) would not look kindly on any breach of security. Even Marshall (Kevin Weisman), SD-6’s highly inventive weapons and gadget maker – a super intelligent man with noticeably lacking social skills -- knows that divulging their identities is strictly verboten. This is the one rule you don’t break.
