New drama starts tonight
Con man Charlie falls for beautiful Emma in a hotel bar but the smitten lovers are unaware of her profession
And undercover CIA agent so that puts them on opposite sides of the law
Milo Ventimiglia (This is Us, Gilmore Girls, Heroes) plays Charlie Nicoletti, a con artist from a crime family that owns a Baltimore bar as a front. Emma Hill (Catherine Haena Kim – Ballers, FBI) is an undercover CIA agent. Her partner, Kevin, has been having an affair right under her nose. The series is based on the successful Korean drama ‘My Fellow Citizens’.
In the opening episode, Charlie and Emma meet at the bar of a luxury hotel and bond immediately. They flirtatiously banter and play coy about what each does for a living, then proceed to have a weekend of passion and intimacy.
While Charlie ramps up the ‘family business’ so he can get out for good, Emma’s closing in on the vengeful criminal who holds Charlie’s family debts in hand — forcing them to reckon with the lies they’ve told so they can save themselves and their families from disastrous consequences.
