Danny gives Chance a gun for the picture and Chance accidentally shoots Danny. Danny is ecstatic. Fast forward five years. The Arnos are at church, not that they are religious; it's just a great place to meet mobsters. Barbara (mom) chats up the wives. Celeste (16) charms the sons. Ruby (14) charms the grandpas. Chance (11) is Danny's regular number two-watching dad's back while Danny chats up the men. One drawback is that Celeste is always falling in love and sometimes forgets to take off her wire. And Chance has problems in school. Go back several years when Danny is on a case with his first partner (Carl Shenkel: David Jolliffe). His family thought Carl was desk cop-not rubbing elbows with mobsters. Carl gets killed and so does his family. Maybe if they had known the truth, they would still be alive. Danny vows that he will train his family as well as he is trained. Besides grinding them on their observation skills, even 11 year old Chance knows how to drive. The Arnos go undercover to bring down vicious mobster/union enforcer Freddie Jacon (Geoffrey Rivas), who firebombs building contractors who refuse to work with him. They are called in when another Agent isn't getting the desired results. Written by BAP13 See less
