Plot
The series follows Clint Barton (Hawkeye), who is now partially blind, as he recruits possible superhuman agents to serve in SHIELD's elite black ops team, Project: Avengers West Coast. The team appears to the sceptical public to be a super-team based in California, but it is really a team that travels around the world, taking out superhuman threats in secret, particularly the terrorist organization called the Secret Empire and it's mysterious leader, the Red Skull, his lieutenant The Reaper, and their new assassin, The Scourge of the Underworld! And, the Secret Empire plans to use nuclear warheads to manipulate World War III!
