The United States has a military presence in two out of three countries worldwide.
A group of rebel states have decided to put an end to this by issuing an ultimatum - the Blacklist: a terrible countdown announcing an escalation of terrorist attacks against American interests.
Millions of lives are at stake and only Echelon 4 is capable of stopping them.
Led by Sam Fischer, the best secret agent, this new clandestine unit reports only to the President of the United States.
Above the law and equipped with the most advanced technologies, Sam and his team must by all means find the terrorists and stop the countdown before it is too late.
Extreme situations call for extreme measures. To stop the Blacklist countdown, Sam has the right to kill on missions. But not only that.
The only secret agent whose actions are beyond the law, he now uses ruthless interrogation methods to extract crucial information to prevent the next attack.
Hunting terrorists to the most remote corners of the globe, Sam is engaged in a thrilling race against time to discover who is behind the Blacklist.
Directly mandated by the President of the United States, Sam himself formed the new Echelon 4 unit. His team, his choices.
While Anna "Grim" Grimsdottir is still in charge of operations logistics, she is now joined by CIA agent Isaac Briggs, acting as field support, as well as hacker Charlie Cole.
Thanks to the Paladin, a stealth aircraft equipped with the most advanced technologies, Echelon 4 is a highly mobile team able to intervene anywhere in the world within just a few hours.
