"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." returns for a dynamic, action-packed second half of season two, with Director Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) - the keeper of the secrets - charged with rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D. in the wake of the events of "Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier," where it was revealed that evil Hydra agents had infiltrated and crippled the peace-keeping organization.

Ever since the existence of super heroes and aliens became public knowledge after the Battle of New York, the world has been trying to come to grips with this new reality. Agent Phil Coulson assembled a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division). S.H.I.E.L.D.'s mission: to protect those who cannot protect themselves from threats they cannot conceive.

But the biggest threat was growing from within as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s old enemy -- Hydra - a dangerous extremist group - had secretly infiltrated and infected the organization at the highest levels. Once revealed to the public, S.H.I.E.L.D. was discredited and made to look like the enemy. The world now views S.H.I.E.L.D. as untrustworthy, and it's Coulson's job to change that opinion.

After discovering an alien city with ties to his resurrection, Coulson and his team destroyed it before the forces of Hydra could claim its secrets, eliminating the villainous Whitehall (Reed Diamond) in the process. But new threats to the world have arisen, including Skye's father, Cal (Kyle McLachlan), who now seeks retribution against Coulson for stealing his revenge against Whitehall; a disturbing alliance between former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Ward (Brett Dalton) and Agent 33; the enigmatic Raina (Ruth Negga), who struggles with her transformation into something inhuman by the alien Obelisk and seeks vengeance; and Skye (Chloe Bennet), who developed mysterious new powers from the Obelisk but whose lack of experience with her new abilities may threaten the safety of those she loves.

Meanwhile, Bobbi (Adrianne Palicki) and Mack (Henry Simmons) begin the next phase of a plan which seems to have grave repercussions for Coulson and his team, who are unaware that there's another mysterious force moving against them. And as Hunter (Nick Blood) is forced to make the biggest choice of his life, Coulson will find his mission threatened by this shocking endgame.

New faces will also make their debuts, including May's ex-husband (Blair Underwood), who must help the team with their most personal mission yet, and Robert Gonzales (Edward James Olmos), whose debut will rock the foundations of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Coulson will continue to attempt to rebuild the once revered and illustrious S.H.I.E.L.D. organization, but he will also discover that some he thought were trustworthy are not, and things are not what they seem.
