The risk of World War III is real, thanks to a paranoid Pakistan army general who gains control of the country and its formidable nuclear arsenal. The global crisis sets into motion a risky plan that entangles three disparate, desperate Americans - womanizing, often inebriated Secretary of State Walter Larson, lowly Foreign Service officer Alex Talbot, and supreme yet compromised Navy fighter pilot Zeke Tilson. Co-executive produced by Jerry Weintraub, Roberto Benabib and Jay Roach, the dark comedy series stars Tim Robbins (`Mystic River') as Larson, Jack Black (`School of Rock') as Talbot, and Pablo Schreiber (`The Wire') as Tilson.
