However, the apparent fresh start collapses after a luxury high-rise bombing kills Rayburn, his family, and more than 600 Brazilian citizens.
The show then pivots from survival thriller to conspiracy story, with the FRP, Ferraz, Osmar, President Carmo, Prado Soares, and CIA figure Henry Tappen all tied into the larger mystery.
Cast
The series stars Mateen II as John Creasy, Billie Boullet as Poe Rayburn, Scoot McNairy as Henry Tappan, Alice Braga as Valeria Melo, Bobby Cannavale as Paul Rayburn, and Paul Ben-Victor as Moncrief.
