The Movement

Seven international students, recruited into a secret class by clues to a campus bomb, are trained through covert missions, never suspecting that every mission serves the hidden consortium they believe they are fighting.

A one-hour conspiracy drama set in present-day New York: seven gifted outsiders, a professor who chose them, and a curriculum that is never what it claims to be. The A-plot runs through City Hall, where a mayoral race is being quietly bent. The city is the campus, and the campus is the board.

All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste.
