Will Trent was discovered as an abandoned child who grew up under a foster care system in Atlanta. This left a bad impact on him and although he was a dyslexic, he managed to join the Georgia Bureau of Investigation as a Special Agent. He started to solve a lot of cases for the agency but he was later told to solve a corruption case which also involved the Atlanta Police Department.
