It's field trip day for the students of Ballard High School, a place that educates the children of Washington, D.C.'s elite: top-of-their-industry CEOs, international diplomats, political power players and even the president's son. But when their bus is ambushed on a secluded rural road, the teenagers and their chaperones are taken, igniting a national crisis. The country's most powerful parents are now at the mercy of one vengeful mastermind, and with nowhere to turn and no one to trust, this unthinkable scenario grows from the select families at risk to an entire nation at stake.

After a mysterious phone call, Meg Fitch must collect a large sum of cash in order to get her daughter Amber back safely. Meanwhile, the Pakistani Ambassador is tasked with doing the unthinkable to get his son back. Elsewhere, Dunn and Finley begin working together to track down the whereabouts of a missing secret service agent and uncover a surprising secret. At the mansion, the students of Ballard High School are tested by their captors.

Gibson uses his wife Janice to gain information about the CIA’s covert soldier program. Dunn and Finley go off grid, becoming targets of the CIA when they take drastic measures to get information. Meanwhile, Meg searches for her company's connection to the kidnapping and is willing to put everything on the line to get Amber back.

Seizing their opportunity to speak directly to the kidnapper, Finley and Dunn become one of the parent missions. Meanwhile, Widener continues to collaborate with TJS on a brutal plan to take out their former associate Gibson.
