Plot Synopsis

This one-hour drama centers on an unorthodox but effective FBI veteran, Charles Barker, who takes on a rookie partner, Ellis Dove, to train in his hard-edged and psychologically clever style of agenting. As they go undercover Barker brilliantly manipulates situations, constantly tests his new partner's abilities and pushes him to delve deeper into the roles of the undercover characters he creates. Although Dove takes a liking to Barker, the new job takes its toll on him. Yet that's not the worst of it. The rookie is confronted with a larger challenge: An FBI Internal Affairs team feels Barker may have gone rogue and they try to enlist Dove as a double-agent in the bureau's investigation of his mentor.
