Annie Walker is a young CIA trainee who is thrust into the inner sanctum of
the agency when she is unexpectedly promoted to field operative. While it appears
that she has been plucked from obscurity for her exceptional linguistic skills,
there may be something or someone from her past that her CIA bosses are really after.
She may be new to the government's most secretive branch, but 28-year-old Annie Walker
has the uncanny instincts, tenacity and persistence that could make this girl-next-door
a lethal weapon. Although her first mission unexpectedly ends in a hail of bullets,
Annie doesn't get flustered or second-guess her new career path when the Agency
unexpectedly promotes her to field operative. If anything, it has made
her more determined to be good at her job and see her assignments through.
In the blink of an eye, an assignment can go from routine to rogue and when Annie finds
herself in situations with no rules or prior training to guide her, all she can rely
on is her intuition. Too bad her intuition didn't keep Annie from getting her heart
broken by someone she believed was the man of her dreams ... but that was two years ago.
Now the CIA and its inherent dangers are a welcome change -- almost a kind of refuge.
As Annie plunges headlong into her new job, she soon realizes it means having to lead
a double life, whether it's lying to her family or facing down ruthless terrorists
around the world and enemies of the state. Unlike her older sister Danielle who
has worked hard to build a stable, reliable, and predictable life, Annie likes
the peripatetic and unpredictable nature of working for the Agency
But she'll soon find out that staying emotionally unattached
could prove to be far more challenging than staying alive.
Auggie Anderson is a CIA military intelligence agent, blinded while on assignment,
and Annie's guide in this world of bureaucracy, excitement and intrigue.
A former CIA special operative, Auggie was blinded during a mission.
He is now heading up the tech ops department within the DPD.
Auggie understands the intricacies of the massive bureaucracy of the CIA in a way that
few others do. He immediately picks up on Annie's intelligence and takes her under his
wing to help her navigate the system. He sees Annie for who she really is
and because of that, is willing to follow her instincts.
Despite his situation, Auggie is the last person to feel sorry for himself,
and his positivism is infectious. Annie is immediately drawn to his dry wit and
self-effacing style -- and his encyclopedic knowledge of the CIA.
They are kindred spirits. This is one guy she can trust.
Arthur Campbell is the director of the Clandestine Service Department at the CIA.
A regal and imposing presence, he loves a good fight whether it's with a known enemy
of the United States or verbal sparring with his own wife, Joan, who also works at
the Agency. But his bid to bring more transparency to the CIA is at odds with the
very covert nature of the organization. Arthur has his supporters but not
everyone's on his side, whether they'll admit to it or not.
He's in for an uphill battle that's sure to have its casualties.
Joan Campbell has managed to ascend higher in the CIA than almost any other woman
in a male-dominated agency. She's done it with grit, determination and poise.
Joan is hard on Annie, her newest employee, because she sees herself in her.
Not that she would ever admit it. And Annie doesn't realize that Joan's ferocity
comes from a need to protect her, and make her a better agent, not compete with her.
Joan is also in the difficult position of being married to her boss, Arthur.
Maintaining the boundaries between home and work is a constant challenge for
this couple, particularly since Joan suspects that her husband is cheating on her.
A second-generation CIA man, Jai Wilcox was a former lacrosse star at Yale.
Jai's hate-to-lose attitude would make him a perfect fit for investment banking,
but he's chosen the Agency route instead. He has dated everyone from Congressional
staffers to other CIA workers to a flight attendant he met while
flying to a buddy's bachelor party in Reykjavik.
Jai lives in the shadow of his father, who was a legend at the CIA.
This legacy both drives and saddles him. He is constantly striving to live up to
his father's expectations while forging his own identity within the Agency.
When Arthur directs him to get close to Annie to gain her trust, Jai is more
than willing to comply. She's beautiful, smart and sexy -- just his type.
She also can keep up with him, which only fuels their
natural friendly and flirtatious chemistry.
A grounded, somewhat earthy yet affluent Georgetown mom, Danielle Brooks is Annie's
reliable older sister. While juggling two young daughters and a husband with a
high-powered job, Danielle represents the path not taken for Annie, one that's
rooted and safe. At times Danielle represents the life fulfilled and at other
times she's the cautionary tale. Danielle thinks Annie works too hard and that
she needs to move on and start dating again. Danielle is unaware her sister is
working at the CIA and while she thinks her sister is emotionally unavailable,
it's this exact quality what makes Annie an ideal CIA operative.
