NBC’s AMERICAN ODYSSEY | Local Screening

Synopsis:

AMERICAN ODYSSEY is a journey through global politics, corporate espionage, and military secrets involving three strangers who have one thing in common ... the truth. In this action drama, an international conspiracy explodes when the lives of a female Special Forces soldier, a disillusioned corporate lawyer, and a political activist unexpectedly collide. Sgt. Odelle Ballard is the lone survivor after her unit stumbles upon and kills Al Queda’s top commander. Before the attack, Odelle, a wife and mother, discovers files that prove a U.S. corporation is funding jihadists, but she hasn’t had the chance to tell anyone. Everyone thinks the entire unit was killed, but Odelle is alive and the only witness to her unit's true assassins. Odelle struggles to survive and find her way home, while New York corporate litigator Peter Decker is embroiled in a merger with the same company that funded the jihadists. Political activist Harrison Walters, meets a hacker, Bob Offer, who has unearthed the same cover-up conspiracy that Odelle discovered, which will soon be a national headline with lethal implications. They must join forces and expose the people behind it.
