Perfect Storm
Detective Sergeant Luddie Austin and Detective Kevin Searing are tracking a fugitive wanted for the second-degree rape of a young woman barely out of high school. Soon Commander Lenny DePaul and Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez soon join the hunt. Upon hearing the details of the crime, Michy becomes outraged and determined to make sure the woman, who was brave enough to come forward with her story, receives justice. Word on the street is the fugitive works at a business in the Bronx, and Michy stakes it out all morning. But it's not going to be an easy capture. New info places their fugitive on the other side of town. To make things even more difficult, a torrential rainstorm hits the city right at rush hour, and traffic comes to a grinding halt. Though the Marshals are the fastest thing on the road, they have to rumble through fourteen miles of gridlock before they can nab their fugitive, hoping he hasn't already fled the city.

Tommy's Nightmare
It's ICE Supervisor Tommy Kilbride's 20th anniversary on the job and today he gets a case that will demand all of his hard-earned skills and instincts to solve. A convicted felon--expert in fraud and forgery--has snuck back into the U.S. illegally. Raising the stakes, new information suggests that the fugitive is engaged in a massive drug trafficking operation. Tommy briefs Commander Lenny DePaul, Deportation Officer Dennis Carroll and Senior Inspector Mike Romani. There are several leads, but it's hard to pick out fact from fiction with their target; with his expertise in falsifying documents he could have any number of seemingly-valid identities. And if the fugitive is trafficking narcotics, he also may have lots of cash and be heavily armed. After 20 years in law enforcement, Tommy may be facing a manhunter's worst nightmare--an elusive, well-financed and armed fugitive.

The Boxer
Commander Lenny DePaul and Detective Roxanne Lopez hunt down a retired 20-year veteran of the NJ Department of Corrections and former boxing coach is wanted on kidnapping and numerous counts of sexual assault against minors. A fugitive on the run is one thing, but a fugitive with police training might prove to be more difficult to capture. They meet with the teenage victims in an emotional interview to gather information about his potential whereabouts before they begin their hunt, which takes them around the Atlantic City area and ultimately all the way down to Florida.

Chinatown Takedown
What seems like a quiet day at Fugitive Task Force headquarters suddenly turns when Commander Lenny DePaul receives an urgent call for assistance. Colleagues in Washington DC believe that one of their most wanted fugitives--an immigrant accused of viciously murdering his own family--has fled to Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood. Lenny and his team, including and Deputy Dennis Tait and Detective Roxanne Lopez, jump on this fresh lead. But Chinatown is crowded, confusing, and conducive to hiding. It's going to take all the Manhunters' investigative skill to suss out where DC's most wanted murder suspect has burrowed in. And as darkness falls over the eerie neighborhood, finding him becomes that much more difficult...and dangerous.

Scarred For Life
Commander Lenny DePaul hasn't been back to his hometown of Utica, New York, in a long time. In this case, Lenny and U.S. Marshal Supervisor Joe Ciciarelli, Deputy Jamie Farrington and Investigator Bill Williams are hunting down a dangerous woman on the run after she allegedly slashed a former friend in the face with a box cutter. To make his hometown safer, Lenny and the Marshals leave no stone unturned until the woman with the box cutter is off the streets.

Moving Target
In 2008, a Dominican national violated probation and went into hiding and local authorities were unable to locate him. Now the job falls on the shoulders of Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez and the Fugitive Task Force. Because the fugitive is a career criminal, the longer it takes to apprehend him, the greater the risk that another victim will be robbed, assaulted, or worse. It's a race against time as Michy and Lenny drum up leads to locate and apprehend their man.

One To Go
Commander Lenny DePaul and Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez receive a prominent, "ripped from the headlines" case out of the U.S. Marshals' office in Puerto Rico. Federal authorities on the island have completed a major drug offensive against a notorious gang with 71 people facing indictment. The operation, while a major success, failed to capture one of the alleged leaders, now believed to be hiding in the New York. Michy and Lenny waste no time gathering the assets for a major manhunt. Their target is rumored to eat lunch in a Bronx restaurant, causing Lenny, Michy and their teams to begin marathon surveillance.

Unthinkable
Senior Parole Officer Vinny Senzamici and his team make it their priority to find a level three sex offender on the run. The fugitive sexually abused a six-year-old girl over a two-year period--and almost certainly will strike again. Vinny visits the victim's mother and becomes even more motivated to find the fugitive before anyone else gets hurt. But the target knows the task force is looking for him and could slip away at any moment. The team races from one location to the next, trying to locate their man before sunrise.

The Ruse
After committing attempted murder in the United States, a Mexican gang member is deported back to his country. Soon after, federal authorities learn that he has slipped back into the U.S., and the Marshals' Fugitive Task Force is called in to track the convicted felon down. Commander Lenny DePaul, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Deportation Officer Dennis Carroll and Detective Roxanne Lopez learn that the fugitive has settled in with a girlfriend somewhere in the Sunset Park area of Brooklyn. The team knows their target is comfortable in his hiding place, so they work around the clock, using covert investigative techniques to track him down. If they can find the girlfriend, they can find their man. But they must be careful--if they tip their hand, the fugitive may slip away.

Family Secret
Detective Roxanne Lopez has a full plate helping to clean up the crime in her New York City suburb when she pulls an urgent new case. A woman comes forward to tell Roxanne a heartbreaking story: her uncle allegedly had sexually molesting her after a family barbeque. And now the uncle (who's also one of the area's most prolific criminals) has disappeared. Roxanne seeks the assistance of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.

Predator Pursuit
Senior Inspector Mike Romani is in the Sex Offender's Unit and is eager to rein in everybody that breaks the law. But for Mike, cases involving children are especially urgent. Dr. Michael Bourke, the U.S. Marshals' Chief Psychologist from Washington DC, is in New York City to join Mike, Commander Lenny DePaul and a team of Marshals on a briefing of Mike's latest case. The fugitive is a twice convicted pedophile and sexual predator from Georgia and particularly dangerous because he works by "grooming" or earning the trust of his young victims over time. Many of these cases are not reported so convictions point only to the tip of the iceberg of actual assaults. Mike has received word that the fugitive is in N.Y.C. In a chase that takes the Marshals' team from the northern section of Manhattan to the industrial warehouse areas of Brooklyn, Mike is absolutely determined to find this sex predator before he hurts another child.

City Of Troy
Senior Inspector Mike Woerner of the Albany Marshal's office has a lead on a "Most Wanted" fugitive in upstate New York. Allegedly the suspect participated in an attempted murder--a drive-by shooting in Troy. Mike fears that the shooting was the opening salvo in a larger drug war. If he can apprehend the fugitive and put him behind bars, he may stem some of the impending violence. Commander Lenny DePaul is on his way to the Albany office to brief on the case. Lenny, Mike, and the Albany Marshals focus their investigation on the target's fiancee. They covertly follow the fiancee's vehicle, hoping she will lead them to their target. Instead, she travels all over town, forcing the Marshals to call off the tail. They then confront the woman directly, asking her to surrender the man she's pledged to marry and prevent a drug war from exploding on the streets of Troy.

Gun Store Heist
In Virginia Beach, Virginia, nearly 30 handguns were stolen after thieves broke into a gun store through the roof. The case made all the local news reports. When Supervisory Inspector Greg Holmes learned that the fugitives might be hiding out in Brooklyn, he called an emergency 5 a.m. briefing with Commander Lenny DePaul, Inspector Dennis Tait, and Supervisor Ed McMahon. Holmes suspects that the thieves will try and sell the guns on the street, so the team must act fast to secure the firearms. When Holmes gets a lead on where the fugitives are hiding, his team wastes no time in gearing up to apprehend them.

Ticking Time Bomb
When Senior Officer Vinny Senzamici is assigned a parolee who's on the most wanted list, he knows he has a "ticking time bomb" on his hands. He assembles his team and assigns the manhunt to his lead investigator, Officer Al Fernandez. The fugitive has a number of hideouts in Harlem, and it's a building-to-building search as the officers interview family members and friends in an effort to find the hideout. After a security guard claims to have seen the fugitive mere hours before, the team follows the lead into a dark tenement basement, where danger lurks in the shadows. As the Fugitive Task Force clears the underground hallways, they think they're closing in on their man--but actually the high-stakes hunt had just begun.

Deja Fugitive
When Deputy Michelle "Michy" Mendez is tasked with apprehending the same fugitive for the second time in her career, the case brings back memories of her first days on the task force. Her target is charged with probation violation after convictions for escape and drug dealing. She gathers a team of Marshals together and works with Commander Lenny DePaul to figure out a game plan. But this old case presents new challenges when Michy and her team discover that the fugitive has children with nine different mothers--giving him nine different places to hide. Navigating the tangled relationships of one Bronx neighborhood to find her target, Michy's investigative skills will be put to the test as she attempts to capture this familiar face once again.

Five years ago, state witness Kendra DeGrasse was found murdered in her S.U.V. at a Trenton intersection. Her death devastated those who loved her and brought fear to the community of Trenton.
