A wry, character-driven procedural about a scrappy ex-con detective navigating Los Angeles with humor, loyalty, and a willingness to get roughed up for the underdog cases.

Cranky but likable L.A. PI Jim Rockford pulls no punches (but takes plenty of them). An ex-con sent to the slammer for a crime he didn't commit, Rockford takes on cases others don't want, aided by his tough old man, his lawyer girlfriend and some shady associates from his past.
