The series takes place in a divided world; some choose to collaborate with the occupation and benefit from the new order, others rebel and suffer the consequences.

So, when the powerful Proxy Alan Snyder (played by Peter Jacobson, (from House) seems to offer Will a chance to get his son back, Will and Katie find themselves faced with the toughest decision of their lives. They will have to go beyond what they thought possible before, risking their lives and their relationship to protect their family.
