简介：恩佐·布罗迪，四十一岁，特工部十五年资历的王牌，也是最令人头疼的“独狼”。毒舌、聪明、身手不凡。一次失败的任务让他失去了队友，也成了敌人和自己组织的双重目标。被追杀、被通缉，对他而言早已是家常便饭。他总能用更惊险的战绩让组织收回成命，然后像什么都没发生过一样回归。一个月的平静后，在一次任务中，他再次被敌人追得狼狈不堪，一辆不起眼的轿车停在他身边。他警惕地坐了进去，新上任的局长给了他一个新的任务，以及一个“搭档”——新任特工部参谋长，凯兰·普户默。四十岁的凯兰·普户默，沉默寡言，总在关键时刻语出惊人。他觉得让一个经验丰富的参谋长去陪一个桀骜不驯的王牌特工，简直是天方夜谭。恩佐更是认为这个“坐办公室的参谋长”只会拖后腿。然而，新局长在任务启动前死于一场突如其来的爆炸，两人被迫联手。起初，恩佐对凯兰的指挥和策略不屑一顾，直到在一次次生死边缘，他亲眼目睹了凯兰惊人的格斗技巧和毫不犹豫的开枪瞬间。这个参谋长，绝不简单。恩佐没有拆穿他，只是默默观察。当其他队友开始质疑凯兰的身份时，凯兰看向恩佐，从他平静的眼神中，他知道自己的伪装已经没有意义。
