Show Synopsis: Detective Frank Rourke (film actor Bill Paxton) is the maverick head of the Special Investigation Section that hunts the city’s most dangerous criminals, and one of the finest investigators the department has ever produced. But, when the LAPD brass notices Rourke’s penchant for operating in a gray area to fight the war on crime, they assign Kyle Craig (relative newcomer Justin Cornwell), a heroic, untarnished cop, to pose as Frank’s trainee to spy on him and report on his off-book methods. The members of Frank’s loyal team include Rebecca Lee (Katrina Law from Arrow), a formidable officer with killer aim and a dark past, and Tommy Campbell (Drew Van Acker from Pretty Little Liars and Devious Maids), a former pro surfer who follows Frank’s orders without hesitation. The team’s cases find Frank and Kyle often crossing paths with Detective Valeria Chavez (Christina Vidal from Code Black), one of the LAPD’s top investigators. Providing Frank with intel is his girlfriend, Holly Butler (Julie Benz from Dexter and Angel), a well-connected, unapologetic Hollywood madam.
