- 01
Every year, the top graduates from the FBI Academy move from their classrooms at Quantico to their first assignments in the real world. For Agent Mike Warren, the dream has always been a post in Washington D.C. But the powers that be have other plans, and the young rookie is soon packing his bags for Graceland, a palatial beachfront mansion in Southern California that has become a cross-departmental boarding house for top undercover agents in the FBI, DEA and ICE.
- 02
Cornered by Mike at a Narcotics Anonymous meeting, Briggs gives the young rookie the whole truth: as a young agent, Briggs was kidnapped by the Kaza cartel and turned into a heroin junkie before being set free. It's a massive revelation, one that could have devastating consequences not just for Briggs, but also for Graceland and the entire department.
- 03

With a body at his feet and a bottle at his side, Briggs knows he must bury all traces of his long sought-after revenge. Little does he realize that the man he has killed isn't Jangles, and that there is one piece of evidence out there that can still tie him to murder.
- 06
With the recorder missing and Briggs on the run, tensions finally come to a head at the house, but it isn't until the truth of events are laid bare in front of the brass that the agents truly see just how far off the rails things have gone. Now, with a murder suspect in the wind and a mess on their hands, the higher ups make it clear that if Briggs isn't found, Graceland will be shut down for good. And while Mike isn't ready to throw in the towel just yet, with everyone questioning each other's loyalties he may not have a team to fall back on.
- 07
Johnny arrives at the Solano homestead in Mexico, and as if being undercover in the family compound of a notorious drug cartel isn't bad enough, he must prepare to pitch the FBI's smuggling plan to the Solano patriarch while dealing with his growing feelings for Lucia and fending off the advances of a clearly smitten Carlito. And when the unstable Solano scion's suspicions are aroused, it puts Johnny in a dangerous position a very long way from home.
