TV show description:      
To the outside world, Steven Bloom (Boris Kodjoe) and his beautiful wife, Samantha (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), seem like a typical married couple. They own and operate a small catering company in Los Angeles, with the help of Samantha’s easily frazzled sister, Lizzy (Mekia Cox).

But things weren’t always that simple. Steve and Samantha were once two of the best spies the CIA has ever known. Five years ago, they fell in love on the job and retired. Lately, they’ve become somewhat bored in their lives together.

Things get shaken up however when the Blooms are pulled back into the spy world. Their good friend and fellow spy, Leo Nash (Carter MacIntyre), goes missing while on the trail of a Russian arms dealer. Steve and Samantha are soon reinstated by Carlton Shaw (Gerald McRaney), their gruff agency liaison, to locate and rescue Nash.

With help from a resourceful CIA field agent, Bill Hoyt (Ben Schwartz), the pair is thrust back into the world of espionage, disguises, and hand-to-hand combat.

Steve and Samantha follow leads that send them spanning the globe and they quickly realize that the supercharged undercover lifestyle provides exactly the kind of excitement and romance that their marriage has been lacking.
