As a training agent, she is determined to instill conformity in her trainees - the way to survive and thrive is to fit in and get ahead." And Solis is Matthew Garza, "a 20-year veteran of the FBI who has been a true believer in the "Agency way" his whole career. A senior agent on the cusp of being promoted to a leadership role, Garza is tough, smart and filled with a little too much self-importance." (Deadline.com)
