FBI Agent Peter Sutherland is thrown into a vast conspiracy about a mole at the highest levels of the United States government. To save the nation, he plunges into a desperate hunt for the traitor, while protecting former tech CEO Rose Larkin from the people who murdered her aunt and uncle.

The Night Agent is based on author Mathew Quirk's book of the same name. The show was originally planned to be a limited series, but fans can expect at least one more action-packed chapter.

In the show, Gabriel Basso plays agent Peter Sutherland, an FBI agent stationed in the basement of the White House, monitoring a phone that basically never rings until one night it does. On the other end is Rose, a young woman who's a computer security expert.

From scenes depicting a metro bombing to shocking reveals of government moles, the story hits audiences with one interesting twist after another. Each minute of the show adds an interesting layer and dynamic to the story, making audiences want to continually click the “next episode” button.
