Eagleheart follows U.S. Marshal Chris Monsanto as he fights crime with his two partners: the slow-witted Brett and by-the-book Susie. They take on drug smugglers, art thieves, kidnappers, and con artists with bloody violence and gruesome deaths ensuing. The Marshals report to The Chief, who gives them their assignments. There is little continuity between episodes in the first two seasons. The third season features an extended season-long storyline titled Paradise Rising.[2]
Eagleheart parodies many cop shows, most notably Walker, Texas Ranger. It portrays a great deal of graphic violence.[3]
Marshal Chris Mansanto is assigned two new partners when his latest is killed in a shootout with a crime lord Vargas (Roger Guenveur Smith). When he finds out Vargas wasn't killed, Monsanto attempts to gain vengeance at the hospital, only to find him in a brain damaged state, and decides to help rehab him first.
A local creep is murdered in the area and Chris must assemble a competent team of marshals to investigate the case. Along the way, damaging secrets are uncovered that threaten to tear the entire force apart.
