The Pretender (http://www.tvaddicts.tv/movie/drama/Pretender.html) is the story of Jarod a boy-genius taken from his family as a child. He was raised by "The Centre" (based in the fictional town of Blue Cove, Delaware), where he was specially trained to develop his unique intelligence and abilities as a Pretender. He possesses the ability to quickly learn and impersonate different jobs and occupations. This show had an interesting seed of history fact. First, Jarod was loosely based on a real criminal pretender. Second, the Center was loosely based on a real government experimental test on child geniuses called Genesis.
