The series revolves around Criminal Division Squad 16, part of the Los Angeles field office of the FBI.

Special Agent John Olansky is the leader of a maverick squad of FBI agents based in Los Angeles in this weekly series. C-16 is frequently criticized by the Bureau for not going "by the book", but because Olansky's loyal agents almost always get results, the squad is mostly left alone.—Marty McKee <mmckee@wkio.com>
