Life imitates art when actress Sam Swift (The O.C. and Hart of Dixie’s Rachel Bilson), goes from playing a policewoman on screen to becoming a real-life investigator. Following a very public breakdown and a stint in rehab, Sam goes full method while researching a comeback role, and talks her way into shadowing PI Eddie Valetik, played by Eddie Cibrian (CSI: Miami, Rosewood). At first, Eddie is slow to warm to his rookie ridealong, but the pair soon develop an electric chemistry, as Sam proves that years of playing a cop have taught her a thing or two.
