Dollhouse

Moral and ethical challenges on the job

Conflict: Active handler Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) and head of security Boyd Langton (Harry Lennix) are often at odds with what their business — a high-priced, high-tech escort service manipulating brains and personalities — does to their charges.

Resolution: Boyd stays the course, keeping a cool head and trying to keep dolls safe. Ballard joins the group to save one active but will try to bring the whole illegal operation down sooner or later.
