The series follows James Reece (Pratt), who returns home to his family after his Navy SEAL team was ambushed, leaving him with conflicting memories of the assault.

As more evidence comes to light, Reece comes to learn that dark forces are at play and working against him, endangering him and his family.

Wu will portray a war correspondent named Katie Buranek, who finds an ‘unlikely ally’ in Reece.

Buranek is described as a ‘risk-seeking’ journalist who uses her byline, ‘to speak truth to power.’

She is at a crossroads in her journalistic career, having left her prestigious news outlet so she can work on her own terms.

The writer hopes to make her way back to the mainstream media by telling Reece’s story and exposing the conspiracy he’s fighting against.
