Life

Life is about Charlie Crews, a detective for the LAPD who spent 12 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. Eventually, his lawyer Constance Griffiths finds DNA evidence to exonerate him and he is released from prison. Crews receives a large monetary settlement and is given back his position as a detective. However, Crews' time in prison caused several changes in his life. His friends and family, including his wife Jennifer Conover, abandoned him and he developed a fixation on fruit and an obsession for untangling the conspiracy and solving the murder that sent him to prison. He also attained enlightenment in prison and adopted a Zen philosophy. When he returns to work, he is partnered with Detective Dani Reese, a woman recovering from a drug addiction. Ted Earley, a man Crews met in prison, moves in with him and acts as his financial advisor.
