In the heart of the season’s storyline, Dan Chase and his former colleague Harold Harper, portrayed by John Lithgow, are thrust into a high-stakes operation to recover Emily Chase, played by Alia Shawkat. Emily’s abduction by Faraz Hamzad, a formidable Afghan tribal leader played by Navid Negahban, creates a complex web of personal and political conflict.

As the story unfolds, Chase and Harper’s relentless pursuit of Emily drives them into dangerous territory, facing off against Hamzad and his forces. Hamzad, grappling with the weight of his decisions, must navigate the growing threat to his family and the community he has steadfastly led. The tension escalates as Khadija, Hamzad's sister and trusted advisor, grows increasingly concerned about the consequences of Hamzad's actions.
Adding further layers to the narrative, Zoe, portrayed by Amy Brenneman, finds herself entangled in new developments as her connection with Chase leads her to make unexpected choices. The stakes continue to rise as secrets are revealed and alliances shift.
The series, based on Thomas Perry’s bestselling novel, is helmed by a talented team including Jet Wilkinson, Steve Boyum, Uta Briesewitz, Jason Ensler, and Ben Semanoff. The writing team, led by Hennah Sekande and Daphne Olive, ensures that the suspense and drama are as compelling as ever.
