Van Ray and Deaqon Hayes are two mismatched cops teamed together by shady vixen police lieutenant, Wilhelmina "Billie" Chambers, in a secretive undercover division of the LAPD. Operating with the motto "Everything we seize, we keep. Everything we keep, we use," their base of operations is the "Candy Store" - a warehouse containing a fortune in confiscated cars, clothes, weapons and everything else needed to blend into the seedy criminal underworld of Los Angeles. Given criminal covers, the officers use all of the resources at their disposal to apprehend dangerous miscreants while walking the line between cop and criminal.
The series consisted of twenty-two episodes, forty-five minutes each, plus an unaired pilot which ended up being very similar to the first episode broadcasted. Episodes 13 and 14 ("Defense" and "Offense") form a two-part story, while episodes 21 and 22 ("Dosed" and "Iced") form a two-part story ending on a cliffhanger which sees Billie Chambers kidnapped and forced to do drugs. As the series was canceled at that point, fans were left clamoring for a resolution. It is unknown how many episodes the remaining plot would have covered.
Each episode cost the two studios making it (Warner Bros. and Fox) $2.

The series paid numerous homages to the original Miami Vice, of which it was a spiritual successor. Miami Vice is an American Television series produced by Michael Mann for NBC. Watching the first aired episode of each series reveals numerous similarities in plot and music, in addition to the obvious similarities in premise and ambiance.
On Peter Facinelli's MySpace account [1], it was announced that the series will be released on DVD in the summer of 2008. The show was not released beforehand due to the fact that the elaborate soundtrack originally used was contracted for television only, and not for DVD use. There is no word yet on how many discs the set will be, if there will be any extras, and whether or not many of the musical scores will be changed in the DVD release.
According to TVShowsonDVD. com [2], Fastlane-The Complete Series will be released to DVD on July 8th, 2008.
