Storyline:
Luke Brunner and his daughter Emma have lied to each other for years, neither of them knowing that the other is a CIA operative. Once they both learn the truth, they realize they do not actually know anything about each other. They are required by their superiors to work together on dangerous operations, leading to challenges when Luke treats Emma as a child and when he becomes overly concerned for her safety, and relationship conflicts.
