Synopsis

Welcome to Memphis! A place so rich in history and culture requires a special kind of police officer to keep it safe. That's why Dwight Hendricks, palyed by Jason Lee (My Name is Earl), is the perfect man to protect the city he holds so dear. This Elvis-loving cop knows the ins and outs of Memphis better that anyone and safeguards his musical Mecca with a brand of justice all his own. Dwight gets help from an offbeat team of crime solvers, which include his demanding boss, Lt. Tanya Rice, played by Alfre Woodard (Three Rivers); longtime partner Charlie White, played by Sam Hennings; and his eager-to-please protege, Sutton, played by DJ Qualls (My Name is Earl), among others.

This mama's boy in blue suede shoes does wahtever it takes to preserve the heart and soul of his hometown.
