If they arent convincing, if they arent real, it only takes one missed cue and their lives could be over in an instant.The cops work fast -- plunging into the deep end -- into high-stakes scenarios with short, intense timeframes.

The safety and security of agents in the field is dependent on their colleagues who have their backs, who have eyes and ears on them constantly, who are always aware of the heightened danger and prepared for action The work and the relationships are unique. Only another undercover cop can understand the life. The longer they do it, the harder it is to stay connected to anyone else.The team is everything. - IMDb
