Season one

The Tech

During a shootout in a secret government lab, National Security Agency (NSA), computer technician Jake Foley is caught in the crossfire and is accidentally injected with nanites, which give him superhuman powers. As his powers emerge, Jake is tapped to be the NSA's mightiest top-secret, crime-fighting weapon, but being a superhero isn't as easy as it looks in the movies.


Training Day

As the NSA begins to question whether agent-in-training Jake Foley has what it takes, he's put to the test as the only agent who can stop a madman threatening the capital with an electromagnetic bomb has NSA agents scattered about Washington.


Cater Waiter

When a top-secret, next-generation tank's schematics are stolen, super-powered NSA agent-in-training Jake Foley is sent undercover to an Embassy party—as a cater waiter—to support agent Kyle Duarte's mission to recover the stolen documents. When Kyle is betrayed by former lover and double-agent Mei Ling Wong, Jake becomes Kyle's only hope of getting out alive. Meanwhile, as if protecting a fellow agent and clearing away champagne glasses wasn't enough, Jake stumbles into his long-time crush Sarah, and must now protect both his unglamorous cover and shaky image.


Arms and the Girl

Jake realizes that his dream of becoming an NSA agent comes with a major cost—the inability to have meaningful relationships outside of work. While shadowing the beautiful daughter of a notorious arms dealer, Jake falls for her. Jake makes a choice, nearly risking the operation and his own life.


The Good, The Bad, and The Geeky

After capturing a ruthless, wealthy computer terrorist code-name DuMont, Jake convinces the NSA he's the perfect geek for the job of heading overseas to impersonate DuMont and infiltrate his international gang of cyber terrorists.


Last Man Standing

Despite concern that he's a walking target with the millions of dollars of nanites in his body, Jake convinces his superiors that he's entitled to a "life" and attends his best friend's wedding, but the NSA's worst fears might be realized when Jake suspects an assassin has infiltrated the wedding party and is stalking him.


Jerry 2.0

Thwarting a potentially disastrous terrorist attack, Jake captures the teenage son of a dangerous anti government militia leader, who retaliates by sending his men to kidnap Jake, but in a mix-up, they instead capture Jake's immature, younger brother Jerry, who is visiting. Also, Jake and Sarah admit feelings for each other during a dinner at his apartment.


Middleman

An intercepted phone call leads the NSA to believe that a dangerous Polish mercenary has arrived in Washington, D.C. to kidnap someone associated with their nanite project, so while the NSA assumes Jake is the target, in fact, the man is after someone else on the team.


Wiskey-Tango-Foxtrot

When a miniature nuclear bomb goes missing from a military base, the NSA suspects that the theft is an inside job, engineered by a member of the Wolf Pack, an elite U.S. Special Ops unit, so Jake is sent undercover as a new member of the team to ferret out the traitor.


The Spy Who Really Liked Me

Jake goes on trial before an NSA emergency board of inquiry after he disobeys a direct order to kill a sexy, female spy accused of stealing a biological weapon, but if Jake is found guilty, the Special Ops project—and Jake—will be shut down for good.


Prince and the Revolution

Jake is sent back to college on a mission to protect African Prince Malik Namir from assassins hired by a ruthless rebel general from the Prince's home country who wants to see the African royal family overthrown. Kyle and Lou offer Jake a chance to walk away from government control by faking his death.


Double Agent

When a dangerous former KGB spy, Elena Dankova, evades capture by Jake and can't be found, the NSA brings legendary operative Richard "Dick" Fox out of retirement and pairs him with Jake to track down this Cold War fanatic before she detonates a "dirty" bomb in Washington, D.C. Despite his continuing issues with authority, Jake is taken aback by Dick's unorthodox, freewheeling style as they follow Dankova's trail.


Blackout

The NSA is hit with a computer virus—and Jake has to team up with the guy he hates most in the world: DuMont. However, DuMont has some plans of his own. Meanwhile, on Lou's orders, Jake is seeing an NSA shrink, who tells Lou that Jake is mourning the "normal" life he can now never have, thanks to the nanites.


Get Foley

An amnesiac Jake is on the run from the NSA and ends up working in a dive bar outside Philly as a fighter in a back-room blood sport. The NSA believes Jake has gone rogue, and issues a shoot-to-kill order, so Diane takes it upon herself to try and help him. But as Jake and Diane grow closer, Jake's boss Caesar lines up a bank job, and the NSA are closing in.


Dead Men Talking

Alex Brandt, an agent whom Lou believes to have died years ago—a man with whom she has a past and who she was forced to leave behind on a mission—is found alive and a rescue op is mounted. Meanwhile, Jake is thinking a lot about what happened between him and Diane, and the nanite project may potentially have a new member.


Upgrade

Jake is assigned to protect Dr. Nanda Sang—a Nobel prize winning activist and diplomat—from the Junshi clan of assassins. However, for a man of peace, the Nelson Mandela of East Asia isn't quite what they're expecting. Particularly Diane, who sees him as a hero. Meanwhile, Warner pays DuMont a visit.


There are also four unaired episodes.
