As events begin to unfold, Mackie’s Sam Wilson is brought in to help “manage” the situation when a plot surfaces to throw the globe into chaos.
“After meeting with newly elected U.S. President Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford), Sam finds himself in the middle of an international incident. He must discover the reason behind a nefarious global plot before the true mastermind has the entire world seeing red,” according to the official description.
