Bulletproof - The Miniseries

Bulletproof - The Miniseries

If you could never be killed, how would you use your gift? Saving lives? Making a difference to mankind? Or would you join the Callaghan Brothers Space Circus and entertain the masses by being killed over and over again for your adoring fans?

A sci-fi story of blood and heart and not to be missed.
