Synopsis:

A&E's dramatic series THE GLADES follows Jim Longworth, an attractive, brilliant, yet hard to get along with homicide detective from Chicago who gets shot by his captain after being wrongfully accused of sleeping with his wife. After being exiled from the department, Longworth relocates to the sleepy, middle of nowhere town of Palm Glade, Florida, where the sunshine and golf are plentiful and crime is seemingly at a minimum. Only this town outside the Florida Everglades isn’t quite as idyllic as he thought, as he finds people keep turning up murdered. Each case pulls Longworth off the golf course and reluctantly into his element as one of the sharpest homicide detectives to wear a badge.

Between practicing his short game, trying to get a date with Callie - a quick-witted, beautiful medical student with a 12 year-old son and a husband in prison - and trying to solve countless homicide cases, Longworth’s transition to his new surroundings is a bit more difficult than expected. He’s realizing the skies in this new town are always sunny...with a chance of homicide.

Characters:


Jim Longworth (Matt Passmore)
Longworth is an attractive, brilliant, yet hard-to-get-along-with homicide detective from Chicago who is forced into exile after being wrongfully accused of sleeping with his former captain's wife. Using the payout he received from the Chicago PD, Longworth searches for the simple life and moves to the sleepy resort town of Palm Glade, Florida, joining the local bureau of the state police figuring it'll be an easy piece of time. Longworth prefers to work his cases alone when possible, and sharing his theories with other detectives or departments only serves to annoy him. But despite his cocky, annoying self-confidence, people put up with him because he's a little too charming to ignore, and damned good at solving murders.



Callie Cargill (Kiele Sanchez)
Callie is a tough nut to crack. She's a pretty, quick-witted driven woman who leads a very complicated life. She is working as a nurse while attending medical school and is completely devoted to her studying and to her 12-year-old son, Jeff, who she's been raising alone since her husband Ray was sent to prison. She's amused and annoyed by Longworth's pursuit of her, but is also intrigued by him and maybe interested in a relationship, despite her general dislike of cops.



Carlos Sanchez (Carlos Gomez)
Longworth's golf partner, friend and colleague, he's a forensic medical examiner who works the crime lab, supervising toxicology screens and autopsies. A family man with a high-maintenance wife and kids, Carlos just wants to be the best husband and father he can be. He isn't easily amused by Longworth's persistence and intuition when it comes to crime-solving skills, especially since he often is forced into compromising positions to try and prove one of his partner's theories.
