From the same creative minds behind the television series Prison Break comes another series involving prisons and cons breaking out of them. This time though cons are being used to help capture those who have broken out of prison. Federal Marshal Duchamp (played by Laz Alonso) has brought in former Marshal Zacanelli (played by Domenick Lombardozzi), who has lost his badge due to taking some money while on the job. Zacanelli has recruited three cons who bring different skill sets to the team. Lloyd (played by Jimmi Simpson) is a socially awkward genius who has a Ph.D in psychology, Shea (played by Malcolm Goodwin) is a former gang leader with plenty of street credentials and Erica (played by Serinda Swan) is a woman who worked as a bounty hunter. The deal is that they catch the escapees and they get one month per recaptured con off their sentences. Plus they get to do their time in a cushier minimum security institution.
