After being shot in the line of duty, New York Detective Robert Ironside swore he would never let a wheelchair slow him down. Undeterred, he drives his elite, hand-picked team, including Virgil, Holly and Teddy, to solve the city's most difficult and notorious crimes. Watching over them is their boss, Capt. Ed Rollins, who shares a mutual respect with Ironside, while Gary is Robert's scrappy ex-partner who marvels at his determination and ability to piece together his life after being shot.

The team's hunt for a vengeful serial hugger takes an unexpected turn when a missing person resurfaces and a new case emerges.

After Ironside and Holly break up the robbery of a high-end poker game, the trail leads to a poker pro with a drug habit. Meanwhile, Ironside must decide how much faith to put in Teddy during his first undercover assignment.

What started as a wild rooftop chase quickly turns into a hugging investigation when the team discovers severed body parts in a garbage bag. When additional victims surface across the city, Ironside, Holly, Teddy and Virgil track the case that leads to the doors of a notorious motorcycle gang and a femme fatale.
