Bobby Trench is an agent with the DEA.
Michael Steadman is an officer with U.S. Naval Intelligence.
Both have been operatives for quite a while before we meet them as they meet each other; both have been undercover maintaining their false identities as low-level gun-for-hire criminals. Both are pretty darn good at their jobs though it is doubtful that each of their supervisors would sing their praises too highly. Both men are, to say the least, prone to going rogue and doing things his own way and that is never something a boss likes his man to do; when things go awry, and they usually seem to do so, it does not reflect well on the bosses and they would make sure their displeasure is felt.
These two might, however, have come up with a way to come out on top were it not for the fact that when they meet, they have no idea of the true identity of the other; both is certain the other is a perfect patsy to use to pull off one impressive operation.
Trench operating under his role as Bobby Beans, long blond haired crook. Steadman is under the alias of Mark Stigman, another real winner.
