Reacher is a Prime Video thriller starring Alan Ritchson as Jack Reacher, a former military policeman who wanders the United States solving crimes. It is based on the long-running novels by Lee Child. Season three followed Reacher going undercover to infiltrate a criminal operation run by Zachary Beck, played by Anthony Michael Hall, in the town of Abbottsville, Maine.
To gain Beck's trust, Reacher worked his way into the smuggling ring, forming uneasy alliances with Beck's son Richard and a DEA agent named Susan Duffy, while trying to uncover the true scale of Beck's criminal activities and the threats against him. The season built toward a tense standoff as Reacher's loyalties were tested from within the organisation he had infiltrated.
