When Chase proves to be more difficult to apprehend than the authorities expected, &#8220;Julian Carson&#8221; (Gbenga Akinnagbe), a highly trained special ops contractor, is sent to pursue him as well. While on the run, Chase rents a room from &#8220;Zoe McDonald&#8221; (Amy Brenneman) who draws on reserves she never knew she had in order to survive the day when she learns the truth about her new tenant.
