    "Damon is a clever undercover cop, disguising himself as an assortment of offbeat characters in his ongoing effort to clean up the mean streets of Chicago. Politically incorrect to the core, Damon is known for his remarkable ability to cut to the heart of any situation. For Damon, good things come easily: a quick wit, beautiful women and a challenging job.

    "But for many of the people in Damon's life, things don't come at all. His older brother Bernard is a 'rent-a-cop' home security officer who longs to be the real thing. Down on his luck and separated from his wife, Bernard spends most of his time on Damon's couch, while Damon spends most of his time trying to get Bernard off it.

    Down at the precinct, Captain Carol Czynencko, Damon's hard-as-nails boss, constantly struggles to get in touch with her sensitive side. Stacy Phillips, a strong, career-driven Latina, can't avoid being hit on by every guy in the squad, despite her 'no dating cops' rule. Carrol Fontaine is a hypochondriac who makes his co-workers cringe with graphic descriptions of his problems. Jimmy Tortone, a Cuban con artist, walks a fine line in his dealing with a variety of shady characters, while managing to remain legit. Billy McCarthy, the gung-ho, gullible new kid in the department, falls prey to everyone's practical jokes. With this crew on the job, the criminals of Chicago have nothing to worry about - except laughing to death." (Adapted from FOX press release)
