In Dollhouse, Dushku plays a young woman named Echo, one of a group of men and women who can be neurally imprinted with "personality packages," encompassing things such as memory, muscle memory, skills, and language. Sheltered in a secret futuristic dormitory/laboratory named the "Dollhouse," these individuals are imprinted with customized personas for performing any of a wide variety of assignments, which can be romantic, adventurous, outlandish, illegal, etc. After completing an assignment, they are mind-wiped into a child-like state with no memories. The series follows Echo as she begins to develop a persistent memory and self-awareness across imprints and wipes.[4] Beyond Dushku's character, the show will also revolve around the people who run the mysterious "dollhouse" and two other "dolls," a man and woman who are friendly with Echo. Then there's the federal agent who has heard a rumor about the dolls, and is trying to investigate their existence.
It's a Joss Weldon "short" of 7 episodes that will be shown on Fox--which means it'll be cancled 5 minutes before it's premiered and after two episodes are shown you'll have to by the DVD set.
It sounds like it's based in part on "All My Sins Remembered" a novel Joe Haldeman wrote back in 1977.

I'm pretty sure there's more pix than this on the model's personal website, but you have to subscribe to see them.

I love those photos of Ancilla. Such a Barbi-doll!
