HARLAN JUDD TAKES ON A FORMIDABLE OPPONENT AS BETRAYAL AND LIES THREATEN THE FUTURE OF JUDD RISK MANAGEMENT, ON THE PREMIERE OF "EYES," WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, ON THE ABC TELEVISION NETWORK

Impulsive, sharp-witted Harlan Judd (Tim Daly) runs Judd Risk Management, a discreet, high-tech private investigation firm that handles cases with the highest possible stakes, while operating at the absolute fringes of the law. Along with ruthlessly efficient investigator Nora Gage (Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon) and a staff of brilliantly skilled, driven individuals -- some with their own agendas and secrets -- Harlan does whatever it takes to prevail in a world of uneasy alliances and uncertain loyalties. The new one-hour drama series, from John McNamara, the executive producer of "Fastlane" and the co-creator of "Profit," premieres WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30 (10:02-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

In the premiere episode, "Pilot," Harlan Judd's (Tim Daly) former employer and nemesis, Clay Burgess (Gregg Henry), threatens to undermine the firm and defies Harlan to find a way to stop him. Together with partner Nora Gage (Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon) and high-powered attorney Leslie Town (Laura Leighton), Harlan pushes the envelope to nail a white collar entrepreneur for embezzlement and fraud, while senior partner Chris Didion faces off with a racist to protect a client.

Langer ("My So-Called Life") as Meg Bardo, Laura Leighton ("Melrose Place") as Leslie Town, Eric Mabius ("Resident Evil," "The L Word") as Jeff McCann, Rick Worthy ("Collateral Damage") as Chris Didion and Natalie Zea ("The Shield") as Trish Agermeyer.
