Bomb expert Ethan cut a hostage's clothes off to save her life. His wife Lily posted the video online. Overnight, he went from hero to freak. The department suspended him to quiet the outrage. So he took his leave and stopped caring. Three days later, Lily's mother was strapped to a linked bomb in a mall. But the deputy captain followed the manual and made the countdown faster. Only Ethan could defuse it now. Ethan set his terms and defused the bomb flawlessly on a worldwide livestream. After the crisis, the truth came out—the Nova Technologies heiress cleared his name. Charles and Robert were kicked off the force and faced charges. Lily faced social death. Ethan refused to reconcile, filed for divorce, built a national special ops team, and rose to the top.
