About

"A globe-spanning conspiracy thriller cut off mid-sentence"

An American special forces sergeant serving in Mali stumbles onto evidence of a conspiracy tying US corporate interests to terrorism, and is presumed dead when she tries to expose it. The show splits time between her survival trek back home, a New York lawyer chasing the same corruption, and the soldier's brother getting pulled into the fallout. It moves fast and takes itself seriously, mixing globe-trotting thriller mechanics with conspiracy paranoia. Pacing is brisk but the multiple storylines dilute momentum, and it never quite earns its ambition before being cut short.

Watch it for

the globe-trotting conspiracy plot that jumps between a soldier, a lawyer, and a family unraveling.

Maybe skip if

you dislike unresolved cliffhangers, since the show was cancelled before its story finished.
