Synopsis: The Numbers Station
Emerson, a disgraced black ops agent, is tasked with a dead-end job protecting Katherine, the code operator for a small CIA broadcast station in the middle of the British countryside. Emerson’s mission is simple: protect Katherine. Keep her safe and keep her secure.
When a car bomb outside the station signals an ambush, the pair is forced to take refuge in the station itself, using Emerson’s deadly combat skills as their only weapon. But Emerson’s call for back-up prompts orders which make his blood run cold and throw his loyalties into question: “Secure location. Retire asset”.
Under attack from a group of unknown, but lethal aggressors with only a recorded message from the previous broadcaster’s bodyguard to go on, Emerson and Katherine find themselves in a life-or-death struggle against a resolute enemy – with the station compromised, an unclear target and no escape.
