Robyn McCall (Queen Latifah)
presents to most as an average single mom who is quietly raising her teenage daughter. But to a trusted few, she is The Equalizer - an anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden, who's also dogged in her pursuit of personal redemption. Robyn's clandestine work remains a secret from her smart and observant daughter, Delilah (Laya DeLeon Hayes)
, and her aunt Vi (Lorraine Toussaint)
, who lives with Robyn to help her balance life as a working mother. Joining Robyn as champions of justice are William Bishop (Chris Noth)
, her former CIA handler and longtime friend; Melody "Mel" Bayani (Liza Lapira)
, an edgy bar owner and a colleague from Robyn's past; and Harry Keshegian (Adam Goldberg)
, a paranoid and brilliant white-hat hacker. As Robyn aids the oppressed and exploited, her work garners the attention of shrewd NYPD Detective Marcus Dante (Tory Kittles)
, who doggedly seeks to uncover the identity of the vigilante known as The Equalizer.
