2017–20181 season13 episodes43 min6.3 / 10

A military drama built on institutional secrecy and personal trauma, where a failed mission and its cover-up drive a season-long investigation into what soldiers will sacrifice for duty and survival.

The boundaries between military discipline and human desire are tested on a U.S. Army base that houses an elite unit of helicopter pilots trained to perform clandestine international and domestic missions. The drama unfolds in the present as well as in flashbacks to a failed mission involving one of the first female pilots in the unit, ultimately uncovering layers of personal and government/military secrets and leading to a season-long plan to rescue a group of MIA soldiers.
