A loose remake of the Christian Slater-fronted action movie "Soldiers of Fortune", set against a backdrop of international espionage and corporate sabotage in the 21st century's privately-funded space race, the ten-part series, "The Professionals" follow a hardened former counterintelligence officer Captain Vincent Corbo (Tom Welling). After their advanced medical satellite explodes on deployment, billionaire futurist Peter Swann (Brendan Fraser), and his fiancee, medical visionary Dr. Graciela "Grace" Davila (Elena Anaya), turn to Corbo. Corbo assembles a team of experienced professionals to investigate the incident. They learn that any combination of Swann's business rivals, corrupt governments officials, and a shadowy crime syndicate could be behind the attack and represent a continued threat.
