Trailer
Plot Overview
Following a devastating terrorist ambush on the Vice President’s motorcade in downtown Los Angeles, six federal government agents are forced to retreat to a heavily fortified, high-security underground safe house to await further orders.
Once the blast doors seal automatically and external communication lines go completely dark, the situation deteriorates rapidly. The trapped agents quickly discover that the attack was far too precise to be an outside hit—realizing a traitor within their own team coordinated the ambush. Cut off from the outside world with no way to verify identities or orders, paranoia takes over as trust collapses and the agents turn against each other in a deadly battle for survival.

Ensemble Cast Dynamics: Featuring strong performances from action regulars like Hannah John-Kamen (Marvel’s Thunderbolts), Lewis Tan (Mortal Kombat), and Lucien Laviscount (Emily in Paris).
