"Dignity is best defined as how well you rise after you have fallen." Police Detective Gino Spinelli must rebuild his police career and credibility after he’s linked to the suicide of his ex-girlfriend. He escapes disciplinary action by taking a sergeant’s position with a nearby small suburban city. After a few months at his new department, Spinelli receives a late-night phone call informing him one of his fellow officers is accused of murdering his wife. Spinelli is assigned to monitor the case and takes the unfavorable position of the officer’s innocence. He relies on his instincts, putting his career on the line and following leads to other potential suspects. Spinelli, who is no stranger to trouble and controversy, confronts obstacles to the case including the US Marshals Service protecting a federal witness, a stagnant and paranoid police chief, disputes with other police agencies, and technology advances he’s not equipped to understand. During his investigation, Spinelli whose self-described love life includes two ex-wives and a handful of past live-ins encounters his former high school sweetheart, Annie, and is tempted to rekindle the relationship. Will Gino solve the murder of Theresa Pucci, and seize this second chance with Annie, after the ‘Brush Back’ pitch life has thrown him?
