SYNOPSIS:

The events depicted are loosely based on actual kidnappings. For these unlucky victims, and their terrified families, they must rely upon elite agencies of highly trained professionals to get them back, safe. For negotiators, field operatives and mercenaries, all under the employ of a private security firm, Managed Risks, Inc, their only job is to get the victims home alive, no matter how long it takes, no matter where they have to go, no matter how dangerous it may be. All the while, they work for a shadowy group of Higher-Up's, but unbeknownst to them, these Higher-Up's have a secret agenda. They are part of a new world-wide, re-emergence of the Illuminati, a group from the 17th and 18th century, who based their goals of a New World Order on the philosophy of the French Enlightenment.. The Higher-Up's mask their activities through the work of this legitimate global security firm, which provides them with the ability to stealthly move in and out of various soverign nations without arousing suspicion. At the outset, the Higher-Up's approach one member of the team in hopes of recruiting her, while their managing director is contacted by other forces, hoping to stop the Higher-Up's and the other Illuminati before they can spring their plans.
