About this show

From director Peter Horton (Grey's Anatomy) comes a complex journey through global politics, military secrets, and three strangers who only have one thing in common... the truth. In this Traffic-like action drama, an international conspiracy explodes when three strangers' lives unexpectedly collide - a female soldier, a corporate lawyer, and a political activist. After a team of American soldiers battle Jihadists in North Africa, they're shocked to find that one of the men they killed is Al Qaeda's top man. Sergeant Odelle Ballard - a soldier, mother, wife, and the unit's only female member - discovers computer files that suggest a major U.S. corporation is funding the Jihadists. But before she can tell anyone, her team is attacked and left for dead. News is reported that the unit was wiped out, but the truth is that Odelle survived and is the only witness to her unit's assassination by U.S. Special Forces.

... would've been a good combination of Homeland and 24. But sadly the writing, cast and action just didn't meet that bar for me.

This is really well-made with great writing. It has many really intriguing characters and interesting side stories, too. The characters are complex and multi-faceted and I like the global context. This is much better than network television usually is.

This is a fantastic a show! It's a real nail biter. I wonder if the show is based off a true event. It's more like a movie than a tv show I never want it to end & cannot wait to see the next episode!
