"Task" follows FBI agent Tom Brandis (Mark Ruffalo), who leads a task force in the working-class Philadelphia suburbs to investigate a string of violent robberies led by an unsuspected family man. The series takes place in Delco and the surrounding areas.

The series is set in the same world of "Mare of Easttown," an HBO miniseries that also took place in the Philly suburbs. Both shows were created and written by Brad Ingelsby, who grew up in Berwyn and graduated from Villanova University.
