from the cbs website:
golden boy is a drama about the meteoric rise of an ambitious cop who becomes the youngest police
commissioner in the history of new york city, and the high personal and professional cost he pays to
achieve it. as he's interviewed for a story about his career, walter william clark, jr. looks back on his
hard-fought journey from street kid to the most powerful man in law enforcement. after only three years
as a beat cop, clark's heroics on the job make him bold enough to ask for and receive the unheard-of
promotion to homicide detective, angering the members of his new department who are eager to see him
fail. clark is partnered with and mentored by experienced veteran detective don owen, just two years shy
of retirement. he would rather team with first grade detective christian arroyo, the alpha dog in the squad
who's just as ambitious as clark, but without a moral center. arroyo's partner is detective deborah
mckenzie, a tough third-generation cop and the only female detective in the unit. also on the team is
detective joe diaco, well-connected with tremendous resources which clark might find useful. though
laser-focused on moving up the ladder, clark's soft spot is serving as the sole caregiver and supporter of
his sister, agnes, a teenager demonstrating increasingly dangerous behavior. keenly observant and
politically savvy, the golden boy bases his career decisions solely on his need to succeed as quickly as
possible, and he'll find that his epic journey will be filled with consequences.
