The show synopsis has been described as follows: “Now in her 30s, Nancy is a detective for the NYPD where she investigates and solves crimes using her uncanny observational skills, all while navigating the complexities of life in a modern world.”
Supporting class includes Anthony Edwards (Top Gun, Revenge of the Nerds, E.R.) as Nancy’s father, Felix Solis (The Good Wife, Sopranos) as an NYPD lieutenant and Vanessa Ferlito (Spider-Man 2, 24, CSI: NY) as Nancy’s former NYPD partner.
