[edit] Plot
Paul Fisher is an engineer recruited to become a spy for the National Security Agency. Paul works in the defense industry, is an otherwise ordinary man with ordinary abilities, trying to live a normal life. He is made an unwilling spy, forced to serve his NSA handlers in order to hide a personally devastating secret. He is unable to tell his family/loved ones what he is doing[2].
Paul's wife, Kate, becomes suspicious when their once-strong bond seems to be unraveling with Paul's increasingly secretive behavior. She's determined to find out what's going on even to the point of hiring a private investigator.
Agency handler Sara Baker, played by Stana Katic bullies and blackmails Paul into working for her. While she admires Paul, it is her job to pull him away from Kate and guide him through his various missions.
