Plot

Complex, offbeat Detective Charlie Crews returns to the force after serving time in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Crews’ new lease on life has provided him with a Zen-like outlook, peace of mind and no need for vengeance, an attitude which can be challenging to maintain when someone he cares about is threatened — or when he is investigating the mystery surrounding the murder he was falsely accused of.

    A cop gets life for murder, has a very bad time in prison, then is released when exonerated, and becomes a cop again. With a large settlement payout, and apparently a few screws loose, Charlie sets out to uncover the truth behind his imprisonment for himself. The great thing about this series is you never quite know just what Charlie is going to do or say. Your average cop show it's not.

    He's got a second chance at life…and he's doing whatever it takes to make every moment count. Charlie Crews, an eccentric detective returning to the force after being wrongfully imprisoned is back on the beat with his determined partner, Dani Reese, and his unusually Zen-like outlook toward the cases he investigates. This unconventional crime solver tries to catch the LA wrongdoers who really belong behind bars—as well as whomever was behind his own fall from grace.
