  • Poppy Montgomery as Cat Chambers, a professional surfer and former associate of the Shorepound criminal syndicate, with whom she worked as a smuggler, money launderer, hustler, con artist, and burglar. Now retired, she returns to Reef Island to take up work as a fixer for the island’s government.
  • Ray Stevenson as Jake Elliot, an aging federal agent stationed on Reef Island, where his exploits are considered legend. Years earlier, he infiltrated Shorepound and met Cat, whom he wound up marrying; he then got her to turn on her partners and broke up the syndicate. Although he and his wife are now separated, he still helps her out from time to time.[4]
  • Desmond Chiam as Det. Wyatt Cole, a newly-promoted detective in the Reef Island police department who pairs up with Cat after they share a one-night stand. He doesn’t trust her at first, but gradually comes to realize that she genuinely wants to turn over a new leaf.[5][6]
  • Melissa Bonne as Ana Dumont, Wyatt’s half-sister and the deputy governor of Reef Island, who hires Cat to assist the police and occasionally handle problems that the governor’s office wants to keep out of the spotlight.
  • Tamala Shelton as Petra Torrance, a surfer and thief who hates Cat for her part in the death of her father Mike.
  • Joey Vieira as Detective Tolan
