Episodes
The series starts with Chance being six years old and Danny is taking a family picture. Danny gives Chance a gun for the picture and Chance accidentally shoots Danny. Danny is ecstatic. Fast forward five years. The Arnos are at church, not that they are religious; it's just a great place to meet mobsters. Barbara (mom) chats up the wives. Celeste (16) charms the sons. Ruby (14) charms the grandpas. Chance (11) is Danny's regular number two-watching dad's back while Danny chats up the men. One drawback is that Celeste is always falling in love and sometimes forgets to take off her wire. And Chance has problems in school. Go back several years when Danny is on a case with his first partner (Carl Shenkel: David Jolliffe). His family thought Carl was desk cop-not rubbing elbows with mobsters. Carl gets killed and so does his family. Maybe if they had known the truth, they would still be alive. Danny vows that he will train his family as well as he is trained. Besides grinding them on their observation skills, even 11 year old Chance knows how to drive. The Arnos go undercover to bring down vicious mobster/union enforcer Freddie Jacon (Geoffrey Rivas), who firebombs building contractors who refuse to work with him. They are called in when another Agent isn't getting the desired results.
The Arnos go undercover to bring down Steven Kesseling (David Brisbin), a crooked stockbroker who is stealing from his clients and selling worthless stock at inflated prices. Celeste's involvement with Kesseling's son (Seth: Jared Rushton) winds up putting her in great danger, while Chance fears his father may have gone too far undercover as he watches Danny fall under the spell of a beautiful female suspect. (Karen Lamond: Nancy Bell). Is Dad just doing his job - or has he crossed the line? Chance wants to know who the girl in the white dress on the bike is (Jessica Kessling: Katie Thomas). Flashbacks to when Danny and Barbara were dating. Part of Barbara's job is flirting with the boss, but things are awkward when she shows up at the bar where Danny is playing with Steven Kesseling. Barbara and Danny have an argument over his seeing Karen and her seeing Steven.
A routine surveillance assignment winds up putting the Arno's lives in danger when Chance and Ruby witness a gangland murder while working undercover as baby-sitters at a crooked councilman's house. Danny is thinking about moving the family to Minneapolis (a career maker) but the family does not want to move. Among other things: Celeste is taking dance lessons, Chance is the top seller of chocolate bars for school and Ruby is making a fortune doing babysitting. And they are all tired of moving and starting over. Chance finds out that his music teacher is stealing from the candy money for new uniforms. Danny must risk his life to prevent the killers, led by Russian mobster Novatny (Alex Veadov), from hunting down his entire family. With the death of the councilman, the babies are left with Chance and Ruby which they bring home with them. The councilman's widow (Mrs. Krost: Kellie Waymire) goes running to Novatyny. Agent Brooks wants Danny and family on a plane out of there-and Celeste refuses to leave. Danny wants to take the shooter (Chernokov: Endre Hules) down.
While working to implicate a wealthy accountant in the murder of his partner, the Arnos cross paths with Spiros Damalis / Floyd Goldman (Shaun Toub), a crooked New Jersey club owner they investigated eight years earlier for the murder of a cocktail waitress. Is Damalis connected to the current crime? Will he blow the Arnos cover? And does he still hold a dangerous torch for Barbara? The current case is about crooked CPAs' working for casinos and one of them is missing-presumably dead. Part of the cover is Chance being on the same little league team as one of the partners' son (Josh Evans: Kyle Sullivan) and Spiros' son (Kevin: Nico Zeola). Ends up that Spiros didn't kill the waitress and he didn't kill Evans' partner.
Danny is assigned to investigate Edgar "Eddie Breeze" Bryzinski, who is running a bookmaking ring from the back room of his local ice cream parlor. Breeze is part of a larger criminal organization, the head of which the FBI wants to nail for several murders. Hoping to implicate Breeze, Danny makes a number of big bets guaranteed to lose, but Breeze keeps covering his losses. Chance is placed on the inside as a counterman at the ice cream parlor. Part of the problem is that Danny does not know who the enforcer is. Finally, Danny lets his family convince him to seek the assistance of a seasoned bookie from his past: his imprisoned brother, Frank. Frank tells Danny that Breeze isn't on him because Breeze isn't making any bets for Danny-Breeze is keeping the money. Barbara also attempts to make some bad bets, but no one is able to make any headway in the investigation. Frank wants to deal with Danny before he helps him. Danny says he cannot help. Then Frank threatens to tell Breeze that Danny and Chance are FBI. Agent Brooks makes deal. Danny brings Frank home for a few days. Frank finally leads Danny to Breeze, but when Danny goes to see him, he finds Breeze dead. Frank escapes, steals one of Danny's guns and the car. Frank wants revenge on Gillaway (the head honcho). [Gillaway sent an enforcer to get Frank, Frank killed the enforcer in self-defense but no one believed him and so he went to jail for murder.] Danny convinces Frank to testify against Gillaway.
An FBI Agent solves cases and goes undercover with his wife and kids as his partners and backup.
