About
Cop-drama GOLDEN BOY follows the meteoric rise of an ambitious NYC officer, Walter William Clark, Jr. (Theo James), who becomes the youngest police commissioner in the history of New York City.
During an interview, Clark reflects on his hard-fought journey from street kid to the most powerful man in law enforcement after only three years as a beat cop. Disappointed to be partnered with veteran Detective Don Owen (Chi McBride), a gruff lifer just two years shy of retirement, Clark would rather team with first grade detective Christian Arroyo (Kevin Alejandro), the alpha dog in the squad who shares his ambitions. Arroyo’s partner is Detective Deborah McKenzie (Bonnie Somerville), a tough third-generation cop and the only female detective in the unit.
Though laser-focused on moving up the ladder, Clark’s soft spot is serving as the sole caregiver and supporter of his sister, Agnes (Stella Maeve), a teenager demonstrating increasingly dangerous behaviour. Keenly observant and politically savvy, “Golden Boy” Clark bases his career decisions solely on his need to succeed as quickly as possible, but he’ll soon find that his epic journey is filled with consequences.
