阿莱克斯·古斯曼必须面对他最不愿接受的事实：莎拉的真实一面。原来他从未真正了解过这个妹妹。与此同时，一具埋在他自家院子里的不明尸体如同一枚定时炸弹，随时可以将他再次送进监狱。他别无选择，只能硬着头皮自行调查线索，以还原莎拉背后的恐怖真相，以及她和拉兹卡诺家族的关系。
The series centres around crime syndicates that temporarily release contracted prison inmates to carry out political assassinations for those in power, except that the crime syndicates are run by politicians. The series also puts a spotlight on the real-world predicament concerning fake news and how easily truth can be manufactured and disseminated to the public in today's age of information.
