Following the chaotic abduction in Brasília, the CIA and the Brazilian Federal Police launch a joint operation to track down the black Fiat Marea.

In the series premiere of Hawala: Season 2, secret diplomacy and political upheaval collide in the heart of Brazil. It is October 28, 2018, and Brasília is seething with energy as the nation erupts in celebration following a historic presidential election.

Among the ecstatic crowds and exploding fireworks, a high-stakes meeting is taking place between rival nations. Evan Whitmore, an experienced U.S. State Department negotiator, is in the city for a mission so sensitive it could prevent the world from ending. He carries a brown leather briefcase containing the keys to an unprecedented global peace agreement.

But as the city celebrates, a professional shadow falls over the mission:

• The Incident: In a blur of motion amidst the jubilant crowd, Whitmore is forced into a black Fiat Marea and vanishes into the night.

• The Investigation: Federal Police Chief Ancelmo Abreu and CIA Agent Victoria Harrington are thrust into a race against time to determine if this was a random crime or a calculated act of international sabotage.

• The Third Player: Monitoring everyone from the underground layer of Brasília's espionage web is Miriam Kesbeh, a mysterious agent with orders to ensure the mission succeeds at any cost.

Who moved against Whitmore in the frenzy of the celebration, and what happened to the documents that hold the fate of global stability?
