Plot

The initial premise of the series saw Agents Syd Burnett and Nancy McKenna learning to build a foundation of trust and supportive workplace dynamics as they went about their ways through new cases and plenty of chaos. Season 2 official synopsis states: "Syd (Union) mourns the sudden loss of a friend and struggles to find answers, while McKenna (Alba) must deal with the aftermath of Izzy's kidnapping and the rift it has left in her marriage.”

She also happens to be Marcus Burnett’s (Lawrence) sister from 'Bad Boys'. Alba's Nancy is Syd’s new partner in fighting crime, and eventually, they spark a friendship too. As a stepmom with a criminal past, she is married to a doctor called Patrick (Ryan McPartlin) and has a stepdaughter called Izzy (Sophie Reynolds).
