Its a conspiracy. It stars Blair Underwood (LA LAW) as President Martinez, his wife Lisa Vidal (ER), his government bad guy Zeijko Ivanek (True Blood & Homicide), Laura Innes (ER) as the recognizable stars. The directors use continual flash back scenes to "enhance" the plot. NBC is banking on this show to replace "LOST".
