Plot
----

Charlie Mayough is an undercover [DEA](/wiki/Drug_Enforcement_Administration "Drug Enforcement Administration") agent suffering from [anxiety](/wiki/Anxiety "Anxiety") and [gastrointestinal](/wiki/Gastrointestinal "Gastrointestinal") problems after a bust goes wrong. During the aforementioned incident, his partner was killed and he found himself with a gun shoved in his face just before back\-up arrived. Charlie, once known for his ease and almost "magical" talent on the job, is finding it very hard to return to work. His requests to be taken off the case or retire are denied by his bosses, Lonny Burke and Dexter Helvenshaw, as so much time was put into his cover. Charlie works with the dream of one day retiring to Ocean Views, a luxury housing complex with servants and utilities.

During his flight to [New York City](/wiki/New_York_City "New York City"), where his job will resume, another passenger strikes up a conversation with him. It turns out that this man, Dr. Jeff Bleckner, is a [psychiatrist](/wiki/Psychiatrist "Psychiatrist") and upon arriving to New York, Charlie enlists his services. Dr. Bleckner listens to his troubles and prescribes him [anti\-anxiety](/wiki/Anti-anxiety "Anti-anxiety") medication to help him deal with stress. He also encourages him to join a [group therapy](/wiki/Group_therapy "Group therapy") session. At therapy, Charlie meets and befriends a group of stressed out men from the business world.

To deal with his gastrointestinal issues, Charlie goes to the doctor where he meets the free\-spirited and beautiful Judy Tipp, the self\-proclaimed "[Enema](/wiki/Enema "Enema") Queen" who introduces him to [alternative therapies](/wiki/Alternative_medicine "Alternative medicine") to his problems as well as some [romantic interest](/wiki/Romantic_interest "Romantic interest").

Back on the job, Charlie is knee\-deep in negotiations for high\-stakes [money laundering](/wiki/Money_laundering "Money laundering") and [stock manipulation](/wiki/Stock_manipulation "Stock manipulation"). He was brought into the group by the passionate Fidel Vaillar and his close bodyguard, Estuvio Clavo. Vaillar is a son of an important Colombian druglord and fears being viewed as a stereotype. They are dealing with an intense man with an unpredictable temper named Fulvio Nesstra who represents the [Italian mob](/wiki/Italian_mob "Italian mob") in New York. Fulvio is the disfavored son\-in\-law of high\-ranking Italian mobster, Carmine Minetti. Jason Cane, a young [Wall Street](/wiki/Wall_Street "Wall Street")\-type with a plan, but poor taste, completes the group. Each thinks he understands the other players, but there is more to these characters than meets the eye.
