About The TWO² Quad Squad Series

The story of TWO² (Two Squared) centers around an elite team known as the Quad Squad, led by Benjamin "Ben" Banister, tasked with thwarting global threats and battling shadowy organizations that operate beyond the boundaries of traditional law. The team faces a relentless adversary in a covert network with vast resources and a sinister plan to destabilize the world.

TWO² is a black-ops unit, off the books, and outside the law, they are ghosts, trained killers with nothing left to lose, executing impossible missions the world can't acknowledge. But when a global organization called WAB turns from ally to enemy, the team must fight for more than survival: they're battling the future of human freedom itself.

Over 10 adrenaline-laced episodes, the Squad faces warlords, human traffickers, quantum AI, and ghosts from their own pasts. Friendships fracture. Blood is spilled. And by the final shot, the Squad will either save the world, or bury it.
