The series follows John Nolan, a 45-year-old newly divorced man from Pennsylvania, who, nine months after helping police officers during a bank robbery in his hometown, Foxburg, moves to Los Angeles to pursue a new career as a police officer in the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). After graduating from the Police Academy as the oldest rookie on the force, Nolan must navigate the dangerous, unpredictable nature of his job and is determined to make it in his new career despite the challenges.

"Dye Hard"

One month later, Nolan has finished his TO certification, Lucy has finished her undercover course and Harper has returned to work. Nolan is assigned rookie Celina Juarez. A vehicle in a traffic stop has a bloodstained carpet, linked to the disappearance of Jill Baskin, whose case Harper has taken on. With Lopez and Harper, Nolan and Celina follow Jill's suspected abductor Tyler Harvin, but he escapes. While looking through evidence, Celina has a dream about where Jill could be held. Nolan decides to give her a chance, and the two search a property in the woods, where they find Jill. Celina pursues Tyler and fights him before Nolan locates her and arrests Tyler. Lucy is locked inside an old warehouse while conducting a welfare check. She has an epiphany after looking through a document from the Dye Hards, an online group Chris joined looking into Rosalind. After Tim and Aaron find her, she and Chris approach the FBI with the suspicion of Rosalind being a user in the group, which they track to an address in Seattle. Lucy joins the team to the city and find two dead bodies, as well as a message from Rosalind.

"The Choice"

While responding to a supposed medical emergency, Bailey falls through the floor of an old house into a tank. Nolan receives a call from Rosalind, who asks him to come and meet her one last time. The tank begins to fill up with water. Harper, Lopez and Aaron investigate a warehouse where an acolyte of Rosalind, Jeffrey Boyle, has stored materials for building booby traps for her victims. They spot Jeffrey and chase him, but he triggers explosives which detonate the warehouse, which they narrowly escape. With notes of how the traps work, the rescue team manage to disarm other traps while activating a last one before Bailey is recovered from the tank. Nolan arrives at Rosalind's meet up location and the two have a last supper before he is meant to kill her in order to save Bailey's life. But living up to his moral, Nolan does not kill her and decides to bring her in. However, as he calls it in, a concealed Jeffrey shoots and kills her. Nolan has a tearful reunion with Bailey as the FBI arrive to take over the case.

"The Con"

With help from Matthew Garza's team at the FBI, Lopez puts everything on the line to help Elijah Stone take down Abril Rodas in exchange for her safety as part of an elaborate operation. Garza's team moves to utilize Abril's girlfriend Daylin as bait for Elijah. But the night he arrives to execute her, he withdraws at the last minute due to an unintended distraction caused by Aaron. Unbeknown to both the LAPD and FBI, Elijah approaches Abril and offers to work with her. Nolan and Bailey travel to Nolan's mother's now-vacant home in Foxburg, Pennsylvania, and must deal with the secrets and shady dealings his late mother left behind including someone masquerading as Nolan, drug dealers, and a foreclosed mortgage.

"Escape Plan"

Nolan and Harper team up with Garza and his FBI team to uncover the conspiracy. Monica's hit crew starts killing any witnesses against her, which includes Pearson, before later capturing Blair. Christian's men attempt to kill the hired gun Gundo after he double-crosses Monica and she tips Christian off, but are thwarted by Tim, Lucy, and Lopez. Monica makes plans of her own for revenge against Ramsey, in which, after confronting him, she resorts to blackmail against him over an affair he had with the wife of Swiss businessman Jakob Olmstead. She takes Blair to Argentina, and reveals her plans to reel Jakob over to her side against Ramsey. Nolan and Harper rescue Blair in Argentina with the assistance of the CIA and FBI, but Nolan is injured during the rescue, which allows Monica to escape. Garza ensures that an Interpol warrant is placed on Monica. Tim apologizes to Lucy, lets her know he will always hold her kindness and repay as much as he can. Oscar and Jason Wyler, Bailey's psychologically abusive ex-husband, break out of prison. Grey contacts Nolan while he and Bailey are talking about adoption, letting them know that Oscar and Jason have escaped.

"Mad About Murder"

While pulling traffic cams, Nolan identifies a civilian as Malvado. The FBI reveals that they have linked the murders to a hitman site and they have arrested a couple connected to it. The boyfriend quickly breaks and reveals that it is a scam. Nolan reveals to Bailey that Malvado is back and she fears that if he was caught that he would try to use her contact with him as a form of leverage. LAPD and the FBI go to a golf course, anticipating that Malvado would attempt to go after Mitch Yancy, a wealthy client. They arrest Mitch and find Malvado on a roof of a country club. He flees and is chased by Nolan and Tim, overpowering both officers until he is confronted by Lopez. He tries to shoot her with a hidden gun but she shoots him dead. Meanwhile, Celina and Lucy investigate a missing woman and her baby, discovering that she was kidnapped by a deranged woman, and manage to save both her and the baby. Tim agrees to help Miles record new training videos in exchange for the latter helping the LAPD win the flag football game against the LAFD.
