WHEN LA'S TOP PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR, ALICE VAUGHAN, IS CONNED OUT OF MILLIONS BY HER FIANC?, SHE GOES ON A PRIVATE MISSION FOR PAYBACK - AND WILL STOP AT NOTHING TO CATCH HER MAN, ON THE SERIES PREMIERE OF ABC'S "THE CATCH," THURSDAY, MARCH 24

"The Pilot" - Alice Vaughan is LA's top private investigator and the type of woman you don't want to mess with. Having built Anderson/Vaughan Investigations from the ground up with her best friend and business partner, Valerie Anderson, they investigate some of the most elaborate cases around the world, alongside their elite team of private investigators: Danny Yoon, a mischievous and irreverent PI who is not afraid to break the law when necessary to solve a case; and their newest member, Sophie Novak, who serves as their in-house counsel and brilliant hacker.

Alice is on the top of her game, but when her fiancé, Benjamin Jones, cons her out of millions and disappears, she suddenly becomes the victim and goes on a private mission for payback, stopping at nothing to catch her man. However, she is not the only one chasing Ben. FBI Agent Jules Dao has been following his criminal activity across Europe and now is closer than ever to capturing him and hopes to elicit Alice's help in taking him down. Meanwhile, the elusive Ben has slipped back into the dangerous and sexy world of international crime with his long-time partners, mastermind Margot Bishop and Reggie Lennox. With stakes this high, you can't make one misstep, but both Alice and Ben are playing with fire in this intoxicating game of cat and mouse, on the series premiere of "The Catch," THURSDAY, MARCH 24 (10:00-11:00 p.m. EDT) on the ABC Television Network.
