The Plot of the Recruit 2022
Noah Centineo is no stranger to the spotlight. From To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before to Sierra Burgess Is a Loser, the actor has become accustomed to being on everyone’s Netflix crush radar. Now, in his new series, The Recruit, he’s back to espionage.
Centineo plays Owen Hendricks, a new CIA lawyer whose first week on the job goes awry. Owen becomes caught in a dangerous and ridiculous world of power politics and mischievous actors after receiving a threatening letter from former asset Max Meladze (Laura Haddock), who threatens to expose the agency unless they exonerate her of a severe crime.
As if the stakes weren’t already high enough, he now has to traverse the world in the hopes of finishing his job and creating a name for himself at the CIA.
