An ER nurse (Anthony Mackie) teams up with a murder suspect (Frank Grillo) to save the former's pregnant wife in this buddy action thriller.

Betrayed by the White House, Congressman Francis Underwood embarks on a ruthless rise to power. Blackmail, seduction and ambition are his weapons.

Frank and Claire become even greater adversaries as their marriage stumbles and their ambitions are at odds. In an election year, the stakes are now higher than ever.

Season 5 picks up where season four left off: in the midst of a tense presidential election that puts the Underwoods on the same ticket against energetic Republican upstart Will Conway.

With Frank out of the picture, Claire Underwood steps fully into her own as the first woman president, but faces formidable threats to her legacy.
