Freshly minted FBI Agent Mike Warren was approved for his dream posting at Washington D.C. But on the day of his graduation from Quantico, Deputy Director Sam Campbell sends him to Graceland to train under legendary Agent Paul Briggs. But he quickly learns Briggs expects him to bend the rules to survive. And after discovering the real reason the FBI sent him to California, it becomes a battle of wits between the two.
