LOGLINE: A pair of former operatives get reactivated and drawn into a larger conspiracy while attempting to maintain their undercover lives.

Cast (thus far)

Hannah Ware (Betrayal) will play Anne DeWitt, a fiercely intelligent, formidably lethal, charmingly mysterious force of nature. One of Anne’s many secrets is that she is an ex-teacher/trainer (in the fine art of assassination) for a Blackwater-like security firm known as The Service.

Jerod Haynes (Southside With You) will play Holt, an FBI agent posing as a basketball coach at Anne’s college. Holt initially was sent in to monitor and “protect” Anne, with the Bureau hoping she might be a lure to draw out a shared enemy. But over time, he has come to care deeply for the players on his team.

Greg Germann (Ally McBeal) will play David Angola, Holt’s handler at the FBI, a shrewd, political opportunist who learned spycraft from books.

Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy) will play Angus Cochrane, a charismatic, handsome and seductive mobster and Anne’s ex-husband.

Jenny Wade (Wedding Band) will play Christy, Anne’s sweet and overly officious assistant at school who talks too much, tries too hard and wants more than anything to have a rapport with Anne.

Rodney To (Parks and Recreation) will play Budd Nii, the earnest, sheltered, eternally positive square Assistant Dean to Anne.

Alan Powell (The Song) will play Wynn Rhymer, a cop in Anne’s quiet New York suburb, the vigilant father of a teenage daughter, and a bit suspicious of what his new girlfriend is getting up to.

Quinn Shephard (Hostages) will play Katie Rhymer.
