Enter junior investigators Stefan Kowolski and Rash Sayyad, who come from different backgrounds but are now coming together to fight crime. Poland native Kowolski had to drop out of university due to a lack of money but received a life-changing offer from one of his lecturers - a job in the serious fraud office. Sayyad's family fled Iran after the revolution and his police-officer father's death.
