I attended an advance screening of that is set to premier on April 5, 2015 at 10pm

American Odyssey is a complex journey through global politics, corporate espionage, and military secrets involving three strangers who only have one thing in in common, the truth. In this “Traffic” like action drama, an international conspiracy explodes when the lives of a Special Forces solider, a disillusioned corporate lawyer and a political activist from a privileged family unexpectedly collide.

After a team of American soldiers battle jihadists in North America, they’re shocked to learn that they’ve stumbled upon and killed Al Qaeda’s top commander. Sgt. Odelle Ballard (Anna Friel) is a solider, mother, wife and the unit’s only female member. She discovers computer files that prove that a major U.S. corporation is funding the jihadists. Before she can tell anyone, her team is attacked and killed. The world is told that the unit was wiped out by enemy militants, but the truth is that Odelle survived and is the only witness to her unit’s true assassins: private military contractors Osela.

As Odelle struggles to survive and find her way home, in New York former U.S. Attorney turned corporate litigator Peter Decker (Peter Facinelli) finds himself embroiled in a merger with the same company that funded the jihadists. Peter begins to connect the dots of this company’s terrorist involvement. Meanwhile, Harrison Walters (Jake Robinson), a political activist and trust fund kid, meets a hacker Bob Offer (Nate Mooney)who claims to have found a massive military conspiracy. The only way they’ll ever save their country, their families and themselves is by joining forces and exposing the people behind it.

This is an action packed series that will keep you wondering what will happen from beginning to end. You never know what is around the corner and that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is also great to see a woman at the center of the military series, and the core of the group.
