A year after entering the covert Night Action program, Peter Sutherland is still waiting for instructions from the mysterious Monroe when tragedy strikes. Flight Pima 12 is shot down over Venezuela, killing 157 Americans and triggering a national security crisis. While President Hagan publicly blames the terror group La Fuerza de La Soberanía, Peter’s investigation into a murdered FinCEN analyst leads him to Istanbul, where financial evidence suggests the deadly attack may have been funded from within the United States itself.
Episode 2 – Package Deal
Returning to the United States with key witness Jay Batra, Peter proposes a risky exchange with Monroe that could expose corrupt agents inside the government.

Meanwhile, a journalist begins uncovering the financial network that may connect powerful American interests to the terror attack.
