The show revolves around a corporation running numerous highly illegal underground establishments (known as "Dollhouses") around the globe that program individuals referred to as Actives (or Dolls). Actives have had their original memories wiped clean, and exists in a childlike blank state until programmed via the insertion of new memories with temporary personalities and skills needed for each mission.
Hired by the wealthy, powerful and connected, the Actives don't just perform their hired roles, they wholly become - with mind, personality and physiology - whomever the client wants or needs them to be. After each engagement, the Actives return to the mysterious Dollhouse where their thoughts, feelings, experiences and knowledge [of the mission] are erased. Another Urban Legend?
