What is Will Trent Tv Series About?

Based on Karin Slaughter’s bestselling books, the series follows Special Agent Will Trent of the Georgia Bureau of Investigations. As a child, Trent was abandoned and was forced to endure a harsh coming-of-age in Atlanta’s overwhelmed foster care system.

Now that he is in a position to make a difference, Trent is determined to use his unique point of view to make sure no one is abandoned like he was. His personal motivation and background contribute to Will Trent having the highest clearance rate in the GBI.

Plot of Will Trent Tv series

Will Trent, having been abandoned by his parents as a child, has had to grow up in the Atlanta foster care system, which has had a lasting effect on him. Despite being dyslexic, he has grown up to become a Special Agent in the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). Trent has an eye for observational detail, and this has enabled him to become the GBI agent with the highest case clearance rate.

This has engendered animosity in some of his peers, and also from Atlanta Police Department (APD) officers – complicated by APD and GBI sharing an office building – because Trent had been assigned a police corruption case and solving it resulted in the arrest of several APD officers. His boss at the GBI is Amanda Wagner, who assigns one of those disgruntled APD officers, Faith Mitchell, temporary GBI status as Trent’s partner.

He is in an on-again off-again relationship with his childhood friend from the foster care system, APD Homicide Detective Angie Polaski, who works with Detective Michael Ormewood. The cases of Trent and Polaski sometimes overlap, bringing the two sets of law officers into ongoing contact.
