Here is the synopsis for “American Odyssey”:
From writer/director Peter Horton (“Grey’s Anatomy”) and writers Adam Armus and Kay Foster (“The Following”) comes “American Odyssey”. The new drama is a complex journey through global politics, corporate espionage and military secrets involving three strangers who only have one thing in common: the truth.
In this “Traffic”-like action/drama, an international conspiracy explodes when the lives of a female Special Forces soldier, a disillusioned corporate lawyer and a political activist from a privileged family unexpectedly collide.
After a team of American soldiers battles jihadists in North Africa, they’re shocked to learn that they’ve stumbled upon and killed Al Qaeda’s top commander. Sgt. Odelle Ballard (Anna Friel, “Pushing Daisies”) – a soldier, mother, wife and the unit’s only female member – discovers computer files proving that a major U.S. corporation is funding the jihadists. But before she can tell anyone, her team is attacked and killed.
The world is told that the unit was wiped out by enemy militants, but the truth is that Odelle survived and is the only witness to her unit’s true assassins: private military contractors Osela (think “Blackwater”).
As Odelle struggles to survive and find her way home, in New York former U.S. Attorney turned corporate litigator Peter Decker (Peter Facinelli, “Nurse Jackie”) finds himself embroiled in a merger with the same company that funded the jihadists. As Peter begins to connect the corrupt dots of this company’s terrorist involvement, Harrison Walters (Jake Robinson, “The Carrie Diaries”) – a political activist and trust fund kid – meets a hacker, Bob Offer (Nate Mooney, “The Riches”), who claims to have unearthed a massive military industrial complex conspiracy.
Bob has stumbled onto the same cover-up that Odelle discovered, which will soon become a national headline with lethal implications. The only way they’ll ever save their country, their families and themselves is by joining forces and exposing the people behind it.
“American Odyssey” is a Universal Television, Fabrik Entertainment and Red Arrow Entertainment production. The series was created by Peter Horton (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Adam Armus (“Heroes”) and Kay Foster (“The Following”). Mikkel Bondesen (“The Killing”), Henrik Bastin (“Bosch”), Kristen Campo (“The Killing”) and Simon Maxwell (“Off the Hook”) serve as executive producers along with Horton, Armus and Foster.

HollywoodChicago.com readers: Be one of the first to see NBC’s new thriller “Crisis” with Gillian Anderson!
It’s field-trip day for the students of Ballard High: a school 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 and a national crisis is ignited.
With some of the country’s most powerful parents at the mercy of one vengeful mastermind, the question arises: How far would you go and what would you become to ensure your child’s safe return? With so many parents and dignitaries put into play with nowhere to turn and no one to trust, the unthinkable grows from the select families at risk to an entire nation at stake.
The series was created by executive producer and writer Rand Ravich (“Life”). Far Shariat (“I Love You Phillip Morris,” “Life”) and Phillip Noyce (“The Giver,” “Salt”) also serve as executive producers. Noyce also directed the pilot. “Crisis” is a production of 20th Century Fox Television.
