Episodes
Edward Albright is a man who lives two lives: while working as a ruthless and cynical secret agent for a clandestine government agency called the Janus Organization, he, under a hypnotic alter ego, lives as a comely family man, named Henry Spivey. Henry works in a downtown Los Angeles office and is married with a loyal wife Angie, and two teenage kids, Ruthy and Jackson. Edward is part of an experimental program called to "separate" his secret agent life from his suburban life with a computer created identity of Henry Spivey who is not aware of his real dominant personality nor that of his wife and children. "Henry" is not even aware that his co-worker at his company Tom Grady, is actually Agent Raymond Carter, his partner in the field. However, things take a turn when the implant in Edward's brain begins to malfunction in which "Henry" re-emerges at unlikely times without being activated. Edward's superior and handler, Mavis Heller, sees it as a threat to her company. As "Henry" comes to realize his other personality, he must try to save himself from a group of Russian mafia thugs who arrive in the country to locate and kill Edward (whom they think is him) to recover a secret briefcase "Edward" stole from Russia - with Edward's help via notes and video recordings.
Edward and Raymond must kidnap a German software engineer with information about a possible terrorist attack. Back at home, Henry tries to deal with the fact that all his childhood memories were made up, as well as keeping his secret identity a secret from Angie, as well as from his therapist Dr. Skinner who starts to suspect something more about Henry. With the help of Mavis, Henry must pretend to be Edward when he accidentally meets Edward's boss, Alistair Trumbull.
Edward is double crossed during a mission in Mexico while search of a Russian "new age" nuclear bomb. Back in Los Angeles, Ruthy is accidentally put into a dangerous situation by Edward, which causes an FBI agent to look into the matter, which comes dangerously close to discovering Tony's computer shop - and Mavis' secret Janus Organization. Elsewhere, Tom/Raymond's wife, Mary, tells Angie that she thinks there is more to the business trips Tom always takes, so she hires a private investigator to check it out. However, "Raymond" has other plans for the PI... and her.
Henry "reemerges" at the most unexpected time during a mission to China to rescue the captive Raymond, and finds himself in the midst of gunfire, and one of his partners, Paula, is wounded. Henry calls for help and inadvertently gives away his whereabouts and his identity. Mavis worries that her superior, the ruthless Alistair Trumbull, will see that Edward is 'broken' and wants to make plans to terminate him. Meanwhile, Mary Grady discovers that Tom is having an affair, while 'Raymond' plots to have another plot in motion. As Henry deals with the fact that his shrink, Dr. Skinner, is actually the security chief of the Janus Organization and reports directly to Mavis, while at the same time Henry and Angie try to learn where their son, Jack, is going to at nights when he's caught in a lie about playing the guitar and learn that he has been taking Karate lessons.
Henry begins to suspect that his wife, Angie, is actually a foreign spy assigned to investigate him and the covert company, Janus. At the same time, Edward makes a deal which could cost him dearly in exchange for information with the ex-KGB Agent Mariam Shefer. At Henry's advice, Dr. Norah Skinner investigates Angie and in the process, realizes how much Henry's other personality, Edward, means to her.
Henry Spivey, an efficiency expert, lives a typical suburban life, right down to the wife, two kids, dog, and minivan. In contrast, Edward Albright is a lethal, multilingual operative. It would seem the two men have nothing in common -- except for the fact that they inhabit the same body. When each personality finds himself out of his element, things go awry.
