An epic dark comedy focusing on a geopolitical crisis and its effect on three disparate and desperate men: U.S. Secretary of State Walter Larson; Alex Talbot, a lowly Foreign Service officer; and Zeke Tilson, an ace Navy fighter pilot. These three compromised souls must pull through the chaos around them to save the planet from World War III.
Vanessa (Michelle Gomez) and her husband, Martin (Rob Brydon), are an eccentric British couple with a volatile relationship, who find pilots Zeke and Glenn following an attack and take them back to their home in rural Pakistan. It quickly becomes clear to the pilots that their hosts may not be all they appear.
