PEOPLE's exclusive first look at the CBS remake introduces Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, a single mother who apparently is "really bad" at "minding her own business" and recently left her job.
"What's up with you, mom?" Robyn's teenaged daughter (Laya DeLeon Hayes) asks. "Out of no where, you quit your job last month and won't talk about it. You loved traveling all over the world, being the big shot at your charity."
"It's complicated," Robyn responds as footage makes it clear her former employer was no charity — it was the CIA. And, as we soon learn, they want her back... or else they may become her enemy.

"I don't work for them anymore," she says. "I'm using my powers for good."

Later, she adds, "When I can't sleep, it's not because of all the things I've done. It's because of all the people that I couldn't save."
