One of the most wanted fugitives of the FBI, played by James Spader (\"Sex, Lies, and Videotape\", \"The Practice\"), unexpectedly surrenders himself to the authorities. The arrogant and cunning criminal begins to play a tricky and multi-layered game with the FBI: he promises to help the federal agents catch America\'s most dangerous criminals, on the condition that he works with the inexperienced agent Liz Keen. The FBI, represented by Harry Lennix, agrees to the strange deal, not without unpredictable consequences.
