The blue-sky procedural follows Detective Cole Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti) and Max who are assigned by the Metro Police to join forces to solve crimes. After the events of the first season finale, they are “reassigned to work together in Season 2” where “the stakes are raised in the cases they solve, the search for a killer and their feelings for each other. Combining his intelligent, level-headed detective work with her charismatic skills as a con woman, this unlikely duo is back, complete with disguises, surprising twists and of course, Ellis’ cat Marc,” reads the official description.
