What Agent of Shadows is about

Adam Hawke is the world's best secret agent, and his newest assignment is unlike anything he's handled: protecting his eight-year-old daughter, Milly, while posing as her nanny. Her mother is Vivian Decapri, a billionaire heiress who keeps getting targeted by kidnappers because of her family's connections. All of this lands on Adam just as he starts a dangerous mission against Raymond Strauss, a power-hungry billionaire who can match his skills.

The show plays out as spy action wrapped around a family story. Adam must hide who he really is, put his life on the line again and again, and earn the trust of a daughter and a mother who don't know the whole truth. The real pull is watching a man who has been called many things discover that being called a father means the most.
