While passing through Schenectady, NY, he learns that a former lover, Romina has given birth to their son Jason. Luke decides to give up life on the road to try and provide for his newfound family. His employer Robin proposes to partner in a string of bank robberies – which will place Luke on the radar of ambitious rookie cop Avery Cross. Avery, who has to navigate a police department ruled by corrupt detective Deluca, is also struggling to balance life with his wife Jennifer and their infant son AJ.
