A Department of Homeland Security agent is assassinated, prompting FBI Special Agent Nathan Blythe to form a special task force consisting of LAPD detective Mark Meachum (Jensen Ackles), DEA agent Amber Oliveras (Jessica Camacho), DHS intelligence and analysis officer Damon Drew (Jonathan Togo), FBI cyber crime specialist Evan Shepherd (Violett Beane), FBI terrorism specialist Keyonte Bell (Elliot Knight), and LAPD gangs and narcotics specialist Luke Finau (Uli Latukefu). Meachum is fresh out of a long undercover assignment with the Aryan Brotherhood struggles with anger issues, while Oliveras has a documented history of drug abuse. The task force finds a suspicious deposit in the dead DHS agent's bank account, which leads them to the Los Reyes Nuevos cartel in Tijuana, and discovers a large deposit of fissile material left at the Port of Los Angeles.
