Plot Synopsis

On his first day on the job protecting the President's son, idealistic Secret Service agent Marcus Finley finds himself at the center of a national crisis when a private school bus is ambushed and the President's son, along with several of his schoolmates and adult chaperones, are kidnapped by Koz, a well-armed and deadly mercenary. The kidnapped teens are students at Ballard High School, a place that educates the children of Washington, D.C.'s elite, top-of-their-industry CEOs, international diplomats, and political power players. When their bus was ambushed on a secluded rural road, some of the country's most powerful parents were suddenly at the mercy of one vengeful mastermind, and the entire nation could be in danger. Chaperone Francis Gibson is divorced from his wife and estranged from his daughter, Beth Ann, who is a passenger on the bus. Amber, another kidnapped student, is the daughter of a horrified CEO, Meg Fitch, and the niece of FBI agent Susie Dunn, who must reconnect with her estranged sister while investigating the case. CRISIS premiered on Sunday, March 16, 2014 at 10pm ET/PT on NBC.
