The story of the show has adapted from the work of Matthew Quirk based on a low-ranking FBI agent named Peter stuck with a dead-end office in the White House basement and a phone that never rings. While it finally does, that kicks him into a wide-ranging, rapidly progressing, and immensely dangerous conspiracy that goes all the way up to the Oval Office.

Apart from the protection, he must uncover exactly what is transpiring before the conspiracy rocks the nation.

The new teaser shows Peter getting that fateful call and springing into action. Around Capitol Hill, everyone is looking over their shoulder from the Chief of Staff to the agents simply doing their job. A voice teases that “this runs deeper than you realize and farther than you can imagine” as Peter and Rose find themselves in immense danger. The new car chases and back-alley scrambles, and the conspiracy appears to bleed into the open as they come closer to the truth. The story of the latest series follows Peter will be frequently switching from the office to the field as he looks not only to unearth the conspiracy but to dismantle it altogether.
