Premise
Legendary black ops unit, The 3 Musketeers (master strategist Oliver Athos, enigmatic martial arts expert Renee Aramis and wisecracking hacker Isaac Porthos) attempt to save a passenger airplane that gets shot down over North Korea. They barely escape with their lives before Secret Service rookie Alexandra D'Artagnan is sent to investigate a government coup and enlists their help.
Set in the near-future United States, D'Artagnan uncovers a corrupt general and his plans to assassinate the President of the United States.
