What Is Countdown About?
The story kicks off with a shocking murder. A Homeland Security officer is killed in the middle of the day. Soon after, LAPD detective Mark Meachum is brought into a highly secret task force. He works with undercover agents from several branches of law enforcement to track down the killer.
But the investigation takes a darker turn. What seems like a simple murder case leads to a dangerous conspiracy. The team uncovers a plan that could endanger millions of lives. Now, the clock is ticking, and the mission becomes a race to stop disaster before it’s too late.
