Throughout the series, the kidnappers make several demands in exchange for the hostages' safe release, including the release of a prisoner, the freezing of a military program, and the delivery of a mysterious object known as "The Mastermind". The negotiation team must navigate through these demands while also piecing together the motives behind the kidnapping, and the connection between the various hostages on the bus.
