The High-Stakes Plot of Season 2
The new season picks up the story after the events of the first. Detective Sergeant Hana Li (Jing Lusi) is pulled into a new crisis when a U.S. diplomatic courier is murdered at Heathrow Airport. Her investigation forces her to work with Clay Brody (Martin Compston), the head of U.S. Embassy Security, with whom she shares a complicated past.
The danger is not confined to the ground. Simultaneously, MI5 Director-General Madeline Delaney (Lesley Sharp) is trapped on a government jet with a bomb threat. The jet will explode if it turns back, changes course, or descends below 20,000 feet. These two crises quickly become linked, with a shadowy assassin known as Fox (Tom Forbes) at the center.
Jing Lusi, who plays Hana Li, says about the new season: “Tune in if you love stepping into a high octane, propulsive world that knows no bounds.”
