Joining his team on high-risk missions around the globe is maverick former CIA agent Jack Dalton. At home, MacGyver is entertained by his ambitious roommate, Wilt Bozer. Under the aegis of the Department of External Services, MacGyver takes on the responsibility of saving the world, armed to the teeth with resourcefulness and little more than bubble gum and a paper clip."

Specifically, Narcisse wants his son at Princess Claude's (Rose Williams) side. Luc's arrival on our canvas will complicate Claude's life in ways she could never have imagined." (Deadline.com)
