The Equalizer season 4 plot

The core of the show since its inception has been about Robyn McCall leading a team to provide a form of vigilante justice for her clients who can’t get such through legal means.

The official synopsis of the series is as follows:

"Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background, uses her extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn. McCall comes across to most as an average single mom who is quietly raising her teenage daughter. But to a trusted few, she is ‘The Equalizer’ -- an anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden, who's also dogged in her pursuit of personal redemption."

The Equalizer season 4 cast

Leading the way on the series as Robyn McCall is actress Queen Latifah. Latifah is an Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated actress that has had quite the career in TV, film and music.
