Scott Speedman stars as RJ Decker, a former photojournalist navigating life after an 18-month prison sentence. Now a fledgling private investigator in South Florida, RJ faces financial hardship and personal demons, including a rocky relationship with his ex-wife's wife, Detective Romero.
Based on Carl Hiaasen's "Double Whammy," the series plunges RJ into investigations featuring peculiar crimes with a distinct "Florida Man" absurdity. Early episodes showcase outlandish scenarios, pushing the boundaries of believability while highlighting the show's unique tone.
Despite the outlandish cases, the series thrives on its compelling characters and RJ's personal journey. His relationships, particularly his enduring friendship with ex-colleague Catherine Delacroix, add depth to the crime procedural. The show is expected to find favor with ABC audiences alongside other successful dramas.
RJ's new venture into private investigation means tackling everything from lost dogs to murder investigations. His most pressing case involves a strangulation mirroring an unsolved murder of a former colleague, compelling him to seek information from Detective Romero.
