Martin in the drama pilot as Marisa, "an astute and intelligent FBI agent with a passion for her work who often finds herself teaming up with Alec (Martin) in one way or another."

Amazingly intuitive, Audrey can size up a crime scene like a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. Her mother was killed by the infamous Wild Flower Killer when she was just 11, and she has been raised ever since by Hugh, who is now her boss. When a young man is killed in Yosemite, it appears that her mother's murderer has become active again after many years, and Audrey is determined to bring him to justice." (Deadline.com)
