  • Hu will play Detective Veronica Jin, a smart, complex and tough cop out on the streets. Her emotional journey is both universal and unique as she is a product of the American Dream shaped by her Chinese immigrant parents, but unique because she becomes the only Asian American, female detective in the murder capital of the world in the '80s.
  • Horn will play Mabel Jones, a trusted friend and neighbor to the Flenory family. Despite her vivacious facade, the Flenory's will discover there's more to Mabel than what meets the eye.
