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.
When Roman wants to trade Reese for Rayborn, whom he's convinced is still alive, Crews launches a covert crusade to find his partner, which brings him answers to long-standing questions along the way.
