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.
