The FBI, NCIS, Commander Kelly, and the Navy SEALs are set on a collision course. With the help of an old opponent from the Pact, CIA operative William Dixon, they come together only to be shocked by what no one sees coming. Distance tests the Kelly's and they must rely on their faith to see them through. Will their relationship survive what they are about to discover?
