In Boston Blue, longtime NYPD detective Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) trades the Big Apple for Beantown when he takes a job with the Boston police department. He’s paired with Detective Lena Silver (Sonqua Martin-Green), the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family. As he settles into his new role, he also works to reconnect with his son, Sean, who is embarking on his own career in Boston.
