John Cale

John Cale is a Capitol policeman, a man of duty forged in the fires of personal tragedy. His life is a contemplative amalgamation of loyalty to his family and a professional commitment to the safety of the nation. Once a decorated U.S. Marine, he served in Afghanistan and earned a Silver Star for heroism, leading to his aspiration to join the Secret Service—a goal thwarted by rejection and further complicating his relationship with his daughter, Emily.

In a bid to reconcile his past failures, Cale finds his day spiraling into chaos during a tour of the White House, ultimately thrust into the heart of a violent coup. With determination and grit, he navigates the dangers posed by terrorists, revealing his unexpected heroism as he fights for both his daughter's safety and the President, navigating not only external foes but also the internal struggles that come with being a flawed father committed to redemption.
