On-Going Series The Border In a world divided by fear, they hold the line... The border is the last defense against global crime, and it's Mike Kessler and his elite rapid-response team, aided by a futuristic global research and surveillance network, that risk their lives to guard it. Counterfeit cancer drugs... the rescue of a submarine crew... the theft of revolutionary oil-extraction technology... Afghan heroin hitting the streets - all extremely dangerous cases that make the unit's teamwork even more critical... But with the arrival of the new Homeland Security agent Liz Carver, the team undergoes a dynamic change. Young and attractive, Liz has a brashness about her that both antagonizes and seduces the members of the unit. To the charismatic Gray, she's a sensual breath of fresh air, but for the language expert Layla, she's competition. For Kessler, who already has his hands full with the M16 agent Charlotte and his college-age daughter Zoe, Liz is both a blessing and a threat - especially when her inexperience and idealism come into contact with politically sensitive issues. Charged with maintaining international security, the elite unit must first and foremost resolve their internal conflicts and overcome the stresses of their personal lives. It's only when they can work together as an effective team that they'll be able to successfully confront the extremely dangerous challenges coming their way... The highly successful and long-running series "The Border" is back with even more intriguing episodes...

The outgoing teen is able to go back into the past and change it at will. It's a unique power she suddenly acquired in a canyoning accident with her pals Greg, Emilie and Clara. And that's being monitored by the slightly mysterious - or just plain screwy? - computer-medical-psychological specialist Dan.
