PAINKILLER JANE

Synopsis

With the world locked in an escalating battle against terrorism and bedeviled by social and economic unrest, an unlikely new hero has emerged: JANE VASKO, a.k.a. PAINKILLER JANE (Kristanna Loken).
Once the DEA’s top agent, Jane Vasko is a formidable presence, both mentally and physically. And when push comes to shove, she always makes sure that she’s the one doing the shoving. As a child, her father nicknamed her “Painkiller Jane,” describing her steely will and ability to mentally push through even the most painful situations. But her strength is about to be tested.

Jane is recruited by a covert government agency dedicated to containing and, if necessary, neutralizing the

threat of “Neuros” – individuals with highly developed neurological powers. No one knows what caused the aberrations that led to their enhanced abilities but their powers are vast and varied, anything from telekinesis to imposed hallucinations. To prevent mass panic, the government has kept the discovery of the Neuros a secret, assembling the secret unit from various law enforcement agencies with a single mission: identify and contain Neuros.
