Wild Cards is a crime-solving procedural with a comedic twist that follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti of Grey’s Anatomy) plays a demoted detective who has spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max (Vanessa Morgan of Riverdale) has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes.

《王牌侦探》（Wild Cards）是一部带有喜剧元素的犯罪侦破剧，讲述了一个性格粗犷、略带讽刺的警察和一个机智聪颖的女骗子这对看似不可能的搭档之间的故事。埃利斯（《实习医生格蕾》中的贾科莫·吉安尼奥蒂饰演）是一位被降职的侦探，过去一年一直在海事部门工作；而麦克斯（《河谷镇》中的凡妮莎·摩根饰演）则过着漂泊不定的生活，精心策划着各种骗局。然而，当麦克斯被捕并最终帮助埃利斯侦破一起本地案件时，两人获得了一次重新证明自己的机会：埃利斯可以重返侦探岗位，而麦克斯也能免于牢狱之灾。但条件是：他们必须携手合作，各自运用独特的技能来破案。
