Duped by underworld types he was working as a courier for, father and daughter leave the dog and flee cross-country to Los Angeles with both canine and mobsters in pursuit.

Police Chief Jesse Stone, who was suspended by the Paradise, Mass. Town Council, begins moonlighting for his friend, State Homicide Commander Healy, by investigating a series of murders in Boston, leaving Rose and Suitcase to handle a crime spree in Paradise on their own. Jesse pours his energy into his work in an effort to push away his twin demons: booze and women. When his investigation leads to notorious mob boss Gino Fish, Jesse's pursuit becomes hazardous.

When the facts don't add up in a brutal Boston-area murder case, Jesse opens an investigation filled with surprises, unlikely suspects and grave danger. Though it's widely believed the murder was committed by an incarcerated serial killer, Jesse suspects another killer is at large and is hell-bent on bringing him to justice.

Police Chief Jesse Stone's relationship with his ex-wife worsens, and he fears he's relapsing into alcoholism. To get his mind off his problems, Jesse begins working on the unsolved murder of a bank teller shot during a robbery. Also, his investigation of an alleged rape draws him into conflict with the town council — which hopes to preserve Paradise's reputation as an ideal seaside resort.

When Jesse Stone looks into the murder of a teen-age girl whose body is found floating in a local lake, it brings him up against the Boston mob and into the affluent world of a bestselling writer who exploits troubled teens.

当今天大多数罪案类剧集都过分渲染科技、心理暗示（或诱导）、口才的作用，或者为犯罪之人安排各种各样“令人同情”的理由，电视电影《Jesse Stone》系列却反其道而行之，坚持走侦探类剧集最基本的破案手段和元素。知名男星汤姆-塞立克（Tom Selleck）在剧中扮演主角杰西警探（Jesse Stone）。Jesse Stone过去是纽约市的一名警察，但因为酗酒而遭“流放”，被贬到马萨诸塞的天堂镇担任警长。Jesse Stone是个兴奋和抑郁并存的复杂人物，他多数时候深沉、冷漠、不会显身露色，但有时也会表现出幽默、机敏。这次小镇上发生在他的好友、同事上的试图谋杀案也差点让他丢了工作。
这部是《Jesse Stone》系列的第五部，整个故事体系和前四部作品没有太大的不同，需要你静下心来仔细观察，细细琢磨。
