Disavowed and disbanded, the Section program is restored in order to track down a notorious terrorist following a brutal prison break.

As the team journeys across the Middle East and Europe, they uncover a deadly conspiracy that threatens to overwhelm them all and change the face of modern warfare forever.

Their expertise is a resource for story, terminology, procedure, accuracy, character development and regional issues, providing insight into the highly secretive world of “Black Ops.” They also train the cast in battle tactics, weaponry and combat, as the lead actors do the majority of their own stunts.
