Black takes place in Chechnya (Southern Russia). The protagonist is a black ops soldier named Sergeant First Class Jack Kellar (portrayed by Marty Papazian). Kellar tells most of the story in first-person at an interrogation four days after the events in the story begin. Kellar is an inadequately disciplined member of a CIA black ops group and a veteran of several conflicts including Guatemala, Colombia, Iran and Croatia. The unknown interrogator (portrayed by Paul Pape) questions Kellar about an arms smuggling and terrorist operation called the Seventh Wave. Seventh Wave have been responsible for a number of terrorist attacks. Kellar is told that, unless he co-operates, he and his actions will be declassified, he will be dishonorably discharged and imprisoned for life. Though initially resistant, Kellar at last agrees to tell his story. Set amid the conflict-torn regions of Ingushetia and Chechnya, the story is told through a tense interrogation. Sergeant First Class Jack Kellar, an undisciplined member of a CIA black ops unit, is pressed by an unknown interrogator to explain his recent actions against the Seventh Wave, an arms-smuggling terrorist organization blamed for a string of attacks. Kellar is warned that unless he cooperates, he will be disavowed, court-martialed, and imprisoned for life. Reluctantly, he begins to recount the events of the preceding days, in which his unit assaulted Seventh Wave strongholds and he uncovered a chilling truth: the group is led by William Lennox, a former CIA operative long presumed dead. As his account unfolds, the hunt for the Seventh Wave grows ever more personal and dangerous.
