Vanishing Act - S1.E1

Frank Darnell, director of the Central Security Agency (CSA), is at a loss when Miles Crandall, the genius who writes top-secret satellite communication software for his Pentagon-contracted company, disappears from a private jet flight, apparently by parachute, over the desert. CSA veteran Cathy Davis, who retired to be a wife to husband Jack and mother to their daughter and son, is secretly called in to solve the riddle. This is ironic because her cover is as game designer for the US Puzzle Co. They soon realize the escape was staged, but the question remains by whom and why. Meanwhile, Cathy's teenage daughter Susan successfully auditions for the cheerleader squad while her young son Nick struggles with being shy and unpopular at school.
