Plot

Former hacker Isabella Kane leads an ex-criminal team to stop a ransomware group from crashing the financial system while confronting personal demons and corruption within the agency they reluctantly serve.

Set against a dystopian backdrop of 2030, "Shadow Unit" follows the journey of Isabella Kane, once the feared leader of the infamous ransomware collective, Zero Dark. After a devastating FBI raid obliterates her life, Kane faces a harrowing choice: languish in prison or lead a ragtag team of former hackers to hunt down and dismantle a brutal ransomware ring that has thrown the U.S. financial system into chaos. The show plunges viewers into a world where the Five Families, an alliance of the world's largest ransomware groups drain trillions from U.S. banks and stock exchanges, igniting an unprecedented financial crash. Amidst this chaos, Kane's unit, former hackers from the Zero Dark arrest with turbulent pasts, confront internal and external conflicts: their haunting personal demons and the corruption within the FBI. Wrestling with the guilt of a friend's death at the hands of the FBI and their own criminal histories, they embark on a dangerous journey. Their objectives are twofold: recover the stolen money and bring down the Five Families, all while unmasking the corruption within the agency they reluctantly serve. "Shadow Unit" intertwines the adrenaline of cyber espionage with the complexity of moral dilemmas, set in a world teetering on the edge of collapse. It's a story of redemption, betrayal, and the blurry lines between right and wrong.
