What happens

UC: Undercover is an American procedural drama television series created by Shane Salerno and Don Winslow. The series premiered on the NBC network on September 30, 2001. The series ran for one season of 13 episodes, finishing its run on March 23, 2002. It focused on the secret lives and private demons of an elite Justice Department crime-fighting unit that confronted the United States' deadliest, most untouchable lawbreakers by going undercover to bust them. The screenplays were either solely written or co-written by Salerno. The main title theme song was written by English composer David Arnold (composer for five James Bond films and the TV series Sherlock, among many others) who also scored the pilot episode. Salerno said the show was a "very music driven series." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
