What is The Recruit on Netflix about? What’s the plot?
Owen Hendricks (Centineo) is a fresh, young CIA lawyer, who discovers a threatening letter during his first week on the job from former asset, Max Meladze (Haddock). She has plans to expose the agency, unless they can help exonerate her from a serious crime. It doesn’t take long for Owen to become entangled in the drama of this absurd new world, as firmly-entrenched hierarchy and power politics play into proceedings. Putting his assignment first, Owen will travel the world in the hopes of instantly making his mark on the CIA.
