Operating under the intimidating title codename The Equalizer, Robert McCall is a former government spy. Having left the agency that he worked for, known as ‘The Company’ he establishes himself as a private detective working from his Manhattan apartment. Seeking redemption for some of his previous darker exploits he advertises his services through a newspaper advert which reads ‘Got a problem? Odds against you? Need help? Call ‘The Equalizer’. Taking on the problems of those that the police cannot, or will not help, he becomes immersed in a dangerous world.

Maintaining contact with his friend and former boss at ‘The Company’, a man known only as ‘Control’ (Robert Lansing) je is trying to build a new life for himself. He establishes a link with his estranged son Scott (William Zabka – The Karate Kid) in an effort to develop a relationship with him. At first bitterly judgemental of his fathers world, Scott soon becomes drawn into The Equalizer’s complex world, much to his father’s dismay.

McCall employs his razor-sharp instincts and skills in espionage and frequently enlists the help of former top-secret connections still in ‘The Company’, and a slew of police contacts to get the job done. Aided by his mysterious associates, McCall traverses the streets of New York City, visiting justice upon deserving criminals. Cold-bloodedly efficient, relentless and as deadly as a shark The Equalizer is a provocative, action-packed murder-mystery series you wont want to miss!

Following the clues each step of the way are some of Hollywood’s hottest guest stars, including Luis Guzman (Out of Sight), Bradley Whitford (The West Wing), Melissa Joan Hart (Sabrina the Teenage Witch) and Tony Shalhoub (Monk). Nominated for seven Primetime Emmy® Awards and two Golden Globes®, The Equalizer is a provocative, action-packed murder-mystery series you won’t want to miss!
