Meet the Team Tracking Down the World's Most Dangerous Criminals in The Hunting Party
You need a team you can trust at your back when catching these escaped prisoners.
The titular team from The Hunting Party consists of an elite group of investigators working to track down an unknown number of prisoners who have escaped from The Pit, a black-site prison that isn't supposed to exist. These prisoners are some of the most notorious, most dangerous criminals to ever walk the earth, so it makes sense that the people tasked with recapturing these escapees are the best of the best. And, fittingly, are a little mysterious themselves.
