An undercover detective, Cole has always lived in the shadow of his FBI mom and Navy SEAL brothers. He has a noble job, but his relatives see it as below the family's legacy. Nevertheless, Cole is a dedicated cop willing to go above and beyond to bring down the bad guys, even if that means joining
an all-male exotic dance group. Cole actually ends up liking dancing more than he thought he would. Cole needs to make his own way and figure out a way to get out from under his mother's thumb.
