A Man on the Inside: what it’s about
Charles (Ted Danson) is a retired professor and believes that life has nothing left to offer him. A year after his wife’s death he feels trapped by routine and increasingly distant from his daughter Emily (Mary Elizabeth Ellis). But an ad posted by private investigator Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada) inspires him to try his luck with a new adventure. Charles’ mission: go undercover inside the Pacific View retirement home in San Francisco to solve the mystery of the theft of a family jewel. The residents and employees are all potential suspects and it will be up to Charles to solve the case without ending up in the sights of Didi (Stephanie Beatriz), the all-seeing and all-knowing director of Pacific View. But staying inconspicuous will prove difficult as the affable Charles quickly endears himself to the other residents. Being “an infiltrator” pushes Charles to embark on an exciting journey and to believe that life still holds many surprises for him, allowing him to reconnect with Emily in the meantime.
