The Plot:
The sophomore season followed the dangerous lives of six undercover federal agents living together in a government-seized Southern California beachfront house. These FBI, DEA and ICE agents, whose lies are their lives, struggled to maintain a sense of normalcy. This was especially challenging when former FBI rookie, Mike Warren returned to Graceland to run point on a dangerous mission against the cartel. Briggs (Sunjata), still concerned about the missing recording that implicated him in a murder, attempted to clean up his life and repair his relationships. The season ended with a stunning cliffhanger: Sid smothering a hospitalized Mike as Briggs raced to try to save him from Sid’s deadly hands.
