We loved “Life,” the quirky NBC police drama (2007-09) that starred Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi, so we can’t help but be excited about the new project from creator/executive producer Rand Ravich.

NBC, which aired “Life,” outbid other networks and gave a put pilot commitment to the untitled drama project, described as an emotionally charged action thriller set in and around the world of Washington, D.C. It follows an idealistic secret service agent who finds himself at the epicenter of an international crisis on his first day on the job. He will need to cross moral and legal lines as he navigates the highest levels of power and corruption on his search for the truth.
