Ricardo Tubbs (Jamie Foxx) is urbane and dead smart. He lives with Bronx-born intel analyst Trudy (Naomie Harris) as they work undercover transporting drug loads into South Florida to identify a group responsible for three murders.

The intensity of this case pushes Crockett and Tubbs out onto the edge where identity and fabrication become blurred, where cop and player become one–especially for Crockett in his romance with Isabella and for Tubbs in the provocation of an assault on those he loves. Working deeply undercover is dangerous and alluring…especially when Crockett and Tubbs go where their badges don't count…
