The detective is determined to uncover the truth. She must navigate the protests of politically-motivated and often hostile men. She is driven by a commitment to justice and an astute understanding of human behavior, Detective Cupp searches for the truth.

The series further expands upon this narrative with an impressive guest cast, including Eliza Coupe as Senator Margery Bay Bix, who will undoubtedly add another layer of intrigue. The ensemble cast of "The Residence" includes a multitude of actors who have already proven their talent, and the smaller roles played by actors, some of whom audiences may not recognize, are equally brilliant.
