Carter’s team includes Ty Curtis (Omari Hardwick), a recently married cop who struggles to juggle real life and the relationships he has developed while undercover; Dean Bendis (Logan Marshall-Green), a fearless gunslinger whose activities make his team wonder which side he's actually on; and Jaimie Allen (Nicki Aycox), a green patrol cop recruited for her excellent lying ability, especially concerning her own past. Carter and his team know that being undercover may require cutting ties with those who mean the most. Faced with circumstances that strain the line between right and wrong, all that matters is loyalty.
