Behind the well-known U.S. security organizations lies a secretive agency focused on intelligence surveillance and citizen protection. Alarm spreads through this clandestine group when Washington, D.C., police detective Ryan Kessler becomes the target of Henry Loving, a ruthless "lifter" hired to extract information through any means necessary. Known for his expertise in torture and leverage tactics, Loving typically resorts to kidnapping or threatening family members to break his victims. The responsibility of keeping the Kessler family safe falls to Corte, a senior federal protection officer, or "shepherd." Unyielding and devoted, Corte employs strategic thinking, akin to his passion for board games, to safeguard those in his care. The return of Loving, who previously tortured and killed someone close to Corte, presents an opportunity for revenge. What begins as a protective assignment escalates into a high-stakes duel of wits and calculated risks. As Corte leads the Kesslers to a hidden safe house, he must anticipate Loving's every move. With the help of investigator Claire DuBois and FBI agent Paul Fredericks, they delve into Kessler's cases to uncover the reason behind Loving's resurgence. As tensions rise and family bonds are tested, Corte faces a critical choice between protecting his charges and seeking vengeance against a relentless killer.
