"Q-Force" tells the story of a team of LGBTQ+ superspies. The first season of the show will follow Steve Maryweather's Agent Mary, a one-time star agent of the American Intelligence Agency who was spurned by his employer after he came out as gay. Because his bosses couldn't fire him for his sexual orientation, they sent him to West Hollywood, hoping he would disappear amongst the palm trees. Instead, Steve formed his own team of LGBTQ+ individuals who had been undervalued as well, calling it Q-Force.
After waiting for years for the team to be given their first mission, Steve decided to go rogue, finding and solving a case with his team. This finally got the attention of the higher ups at the AIA, who reluctantly made Q-Force active agents and assigned them cases. However, this upgrade came at a cost: They have to put up with an agency-approved new member — the straight man Agent Buck (David Harbour) — which is no doubt going to cause some issues within the team.
