Led by Alfie Allen (SAS: Rogue Heroes, Game of Thrones), Shazad Latif (Star Trek: Discovery, What’s Love Got To Do With It) and Samira Wiley (The Handmaid’s Tale, Orange is the New Black), the trailer offers a glimpse into the exhilarating five-part series that throws two unlikely characters into the unexpected journey of a lifetime.
THE PREMISE
When the free-spirited drug smuggler Max (Alfie Allen) encounters JJ (Shazad Latif), an enigmatic outsider on the run, they unexpectedly form a friendship. Together, they dive headfirst into a chaotic, high-stakes mission that takes them by surprise. Trafficking highly enriched uranium across North Africa and the Middle East. With the CIA, MI6, and a global web of opposing forces closing in fast.
Leading the charge for the CIA is a highly skilled scientist and a Non-Official Cover (NOC) officer, Cassie Elliott (Samira Wiley). Convinced Max and JJ are in league with violent extremists, her relentless pursuit puts them all on a collision course, revealing that nothing is what it seems. And everyone has an ulterior motive. The pair find themselves on a wild road trip. Confronting covert operatives, an internationally funded cartel, and ultimately their own pasts. What starts as a bid for survival slowly becomes something more. A reluctant partnership, a shot at redemption, and one hell of a ride.
