Vengeance

What Season 3 of Strike Back

After a mission in Somalia, four nuclear detonators end up in the wrong hands. Major Rachel Dalton, a former military intelligence officer, takes command of Section 20 and travels across Africa to recover them. The weapons were sold to Conrad Knox, a British billionaire who runs the Knox Foundation in South Africa. Knox claims to fight instability, but in reality he arms his own militia and builds nuclear bombs with the aim of giving Africa a voice. His influence forces the unit to operate in the shadows. Meanwhile, Stonebridge seeks revenge against Craig Hanson for killing his wife, and Scott must deal with Christy Bryant, a CIA agent with whom he carried out contract killings.
