In Dollhouse, [Eliza] 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—that can be romantic, adventurous, outlandish, illegal, etc.—and mind-wiped into a child-like state with no memories after completing an assignment. The series follows Echo as she begins to develop a persistent memory and self-awareness across imprints and wipes.
