“I was falsely accused of a hideous crime and sentenced to life in prison. One night I was taken from my cell to a place called Section One, the most covert anti-terrorist group on the planet. Their ends are just, but their means are ruthless.
If I don’t play by their rules… I die.” – Nikita

Wrongly accused for a hideous crime and headed for lethal injection, Nikita is rescued from her fate by the top-secret government organization, Section One. She must rely on her fierce instincts and killer looks to achieve the covert and death-defying objectives of a monolithic establishment that is all too willing to cancel her should her conscience get in the way. There is no end in sight to the pulse-pounding predicaments and gut-wrenching moral wars she must wage each day.
Season Two kicks into high gear with Nikita’s survival from the destruction of a Freedom League hideout in the first season's final episode. Since then, she has been on the run from Section One. While working as a waitress, Nikita is captured by the Freedom League and used as bait to lure Section One into a trap. Nikita’s life and ultimately the survival of Section One itself are on the line.

· Audio commentaries on two episodes by executive consultant Joel Surnow, director Jon Cassar and story editor Michael Loceff
