As a troubled teenager, Nikita (series star MAGGIE Q) was rescued from death row by a secret U.S. agency known only as Division. There she was erased from society & trained to be a spy & assassin. After being betrayed by the only people she thought she could trust, Nikita escaped from Division. Now, after three years in hiding, the rogue Nikita is seeking retribution & is making it clear to her former boss, Percy (series star XANDER BERKELEY), & former friends & colleagues Michael (series star SHANE WEST) & Birkhoff (series star Aaron Stanford) that she will stop at nothing to expose & destroy their covert agency. Meanwhile, Division continues to recruit & train other young people who have been ostracized from society, among them Jaden (series star TIFFANY HINES) & Thom (series star ASHTON HOLMES), erasing all evidence of their former lives & turning them into cold & efficient killers. One of these new recruits, Alex (series star LYNDSY FONSECA) is a beautiful girl with a violent past & a story not so different from Nikita's. Reluctant to accept her new fate, Alex is given special attention by Amanda (series star MELINDA CLARKE), a master manipulator who can turn any ugly duckling into a swan & harden any bleeding heart into that of a killer.
