When a D.E.A. and S.W.A.T. cartel takedown ends in a shootout, S.W.A.T. Agent Travis Hall seizes a mysterious prisoner taking him into custody. Before long, the S.W.A.T. compound is under siege by wave-after-wave of assault teams attempting to recover the prisoner known as “The Scorpion” for the tattoo blazed across his back. When Travis discovers that his prisoner is a Secret Ops double agent planted within the cartel, it’s up to him and his expert S.W.A.T. team to keep “The Scorpion” and his billion dollar secrets safe.

Humankind has tamed almost our entire planet, but there are some remote outposts where the wild still rules. One such place is Ascension Island. Marooned a thousand miles between South America and West Africa, it is one of the most isolated ecosystems on the planet. But now, after one of the biggest shark invasions on Earth, the streets are vacant. Deserted. Businesses closed. Tourism has stopped and many locals have fled the sharks. Ascension is now the Amity of the Mid-Atlantic. How did it get to this? What chain of events led to create the perfect storm of sharks? And what triggered the first and most violent shark attacks in Ascension’s history?

Un accordo tra la D.E.A. e gli S.W.A.T. finisce in sparatoria. L'agente speciale Travis Hall cattura un misterioso prigioniero e lo tiene in custodia.

Under Siege looks of sieges in history and the nature and evolution of combat across the centuries.
In ancient world siege warfare was the most brutal form of war. Typically involving whole urban societies, siege warfare often ended in the sack of a city and the massacre or enslavement of entire populations.

Adnan Sarwar meets the pupils, parents and teachers trying to survive at a primary school caught in a turf war in Cape Town, South Africa, between lawless, drug-dealing gangs. As Sarwar and his director Tom Cross discover, the Cape Flats have long had a notorious reputation for lawlessness and violence, but with 279 children killed in the last year alone, the government has now sent in the military. However, it's done little to stop the daily shootings, with those carrying guns seemingly getting younger and younger.
