Season one ended on a cliffhanger with Owen and former CIA asset Max (Laura Haddick) captured and their lives endangered. Max is killed by her daughter Nichka (Maddie Hasson) in the final moments.
Season 2 finds Owen pulled into a life-threatening espionage situation in South Korea, only to realize that the bigger threat just might be coming from inside the Agency.
Joining season 2 is Tea Yoo from Past Lives as South Korean National Intelligence Service (NIS) agent Jang Kyun.
