| Synopsis: Every morning at 0800
hours, the President of the United States is given a report that outlines
the most active international and domestic threats against the United
States. This document is called the Threat Matrix. To combat these threats,
the President, through the Department of Homeland Security, has created
a highly specialized, elite task force whose mission is to keep our country
safe from enemies determined to destroy our way of life.
"Threat Matrix" is a one-hour drama about this team whose
expertise and use of cutting-edge technology helps them fight the many
faces of terror. Taking audiences behind the headlines and into the
world of homeland security, "Threat Matrix" dramatizes what
we are doing in the world of homeland security, why we are doing it
and whether or not it is working.
The leader of this unit is Special Agent John Kilmer. The brilliant
42-year-old former FBI agent has White House authorization to call upon
the technical skills, firepower and the specialist agents of the FBI,
CIA and NSA, among others. Kilmer reports only to Colonel Roger Atkins,
the gruff and shrewd operations liaison to the President. Kilmer's ex-wife,
Special Agent Frankie Ellroy-Kilmer, is a 35-year-old, highly trained
interrogation expert and 'profiler' whose skills allow her to crack
even the most hardened enemies.
Based in the "Vault" located at Fort Meade, the rest of Kilmer's
dedicated team includes Mo, a 34-year-old Egyptian-American former CIA
operative stationed in the Middle East; Lia "Lark" Larkin,
a 36-year-old former FBI forensics specialist; Tim Vargas, a 28-year-old
DEA agent from Miami; and Jelani, a 24-year-old African-American computer
genius who intercepts phone, fax and radio signals from around the world
and supports the team with the latest NSA technology. (courtesy ABC
