Nick Cannon portrays Tracy “Tre” Stokes, a dedicated 23-year-old bike cop whose fierce commitment to justice is deeply inspired by the legacy of his late father, a former detective. Despite his passion, Tre faces skepticism from his mentor, Captain Delgado, played by Cheech Marin, who is wary of Tre’s impulsive behavior and hesitates to let him chase his aspirations. One day, while Delgado is occupied with a basketball game, an unexpected visitor from the Mayor’s office arrives with a proposition: they need a seasoned undercover detective at Westbury School after a tragedy shakes the student body.
