After an undercover FBI agent's body is dumped on the side of the road, all eyes turn toward Dean Bendis (Logan Marshall-Green), an undercover LAPD officer currently embedded with the gang believed to be responsible for the FBI agent's cuddle. Dean's boss, Carter Shaw (Dylan McDermott), is determined to bring the gang leader down while also ensuring that Dean has not turned and switched loyalties. Carter sends in Ty Curtis (Omari Hardwick), who must leave his life as a newlywed to return to the seedy underbelly of the criminal world and get Dean out. Meanwhile, Carter recruits and trains the latest member of his team, Jaimie Allen (Nicki Aycox), a patrol cop who has successfully fabricated her entire past.
