Flynn Carsen (Noah Wyle) is a
30-year-old graduate student who has managed to collect a whopping 22 university
degrees; despite his brilliance, Flynn seems to have a hard time with the real
world, and his mentor at school finally has him expelled so he can start putting
his knowledge to work. Things are not much better for him at home, where his
mother, Margie (Olympia Dukakis), wants him to meet a nice girl and settle down
on his own. Needing a job, Flynn finds an unexpected opening with the New York
Metropolitan Library, where Judson (Bob Newhart) and Charlene (Jane Curtin) hire
him to look after a special collection. Unknown to the world, the library has
been caring for the world's most precious relics, including the Holy Grail,
Pandora's Box, the Golden Fleece, the Sword of Excalibur and the Mona Lisa. It
isn't long before Flynn learns how dangerous his job can be when he's approached
by Lana (Kelly Hu) and Rhodes (David Dayan Fisher), members of a secret
underground mob known as the Serpent Brotherhood who happen to know that Flynn
is the new guardian of the Spear of Destiny, and will stop at nothing to take it
from him.
