Review Summary
Cat Burglar Darien Fawkes, faces life in prison unless he agrees to undergo a secret government experiment, run by his scientist brother, Kevin. Having a special gland implanted in his brain, Darien can turn invisible, but at the risk of losing his sanity. Darien's brother is betrayed and killed by the same scientist who engineered madness into the gland design, and Darien must seek justice with the help of the underfunded goverment agency that sponsored his brother's project.

The Invisible Man revolves around the central character, Darien Fawkes (Ventresca) who is facing life in prison after a life of burglary. His brother, Kevin, a scientist working on a top-secret government project, invents a synthetic gland that can turn someone invisible. Darien agrees to have the gland implanted in his brain and goes to work for the government as their new--invisible--agent, and he learns to become more than the petty criminal that he was in his past. Teamed up with his new (slightly paranoid) partner, Bobby Hobbes (Ben-Victor), some exciting, action-packed adventures ensue, with every episode full of witty, humorous dialogue.
