Raymond Donne wasn't always a schoolteacher. Not only did he patrol the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, as one of New York's Finest, but being the nephew of the chief of detectives, he was expected to go on to bigger things. At least he was until the accident that destroyed his knees. Unable to do the job the way he wanted, he became a teacher in the same neighborhood, and did everything he could to put the force behind him and come to terms with the change.

Then Frankie Rivas, a student in Ray's class and a baseball phenom, stops showing up to school. With Frankie in danger of failing and missing out on a scholarship, Ray goes looking for him, only to find Frankie's father bludgeoned to death in their apartment. Frankie and his younger sister are gone, possibly on the run. But did Frankie really kill his father? Ray can't believe it. But then who did, and where are Frankie and his sister? Ray doesn't know, but if he's going to have any chance of bringing them home safely, he's going to have to return to the life, the people, and the demons he walked out on all those years ago.

Crime novelist Nattie Broward's dream of riches becomes a nightmare when he stumbles onto a human skull in the middle of the ruined golf course he wants to remake into pricy condos. If this is Indian burial ground, Nattie's plans are as dead as the skull's owner.

Nattie needs help in finding out who the skull's owner really is and knows who to ask: Alex McFarlane, a Brooklyn sculptor, who once helped Nattie with a crime novel. Alex, a forensic artist, also puts faces on the faceless — and nameless — dead. And he's a guy who will keep a big secret in exchange for a big chunk of cash.

That is, until the face starts speaking to Alex and his partner Maeve, an investigative journalist, in a way they cannot ignore. One that demands fatal revenge that could be the death of them both.

The trail went cold, but investigative journalist Griff Hadley has always thought there was more to the story — much more.

But not everyone is happy about Griff's presence. Relatives and staff alike regard him coldly, including Pierce Mather, the Arlingtons' attractive lawyer, who is more than a little wary of Griff's motives.

When a stranger shows up claiming to be the long-lost Brian, Griff and Pierce are united in their suspicions. Startled to have found an ally in the buttoned-up lawyer, Griff soon realizes it's hard to keep a professional distance.

Everything about New Tacoma in Washington Territory comes as a shock to Hildy Bacom when she and her family move there in 1876. Cows and pigs roam the muddy streets, some people live in lean-tos or hollowed-out tree trunks, and her first friend, Mrs. Money, runs a shop with a parrot on her head. Hildy's new life includes a new best friend and a romance, plus a lady of the night, Indian and lots of Chinese. Over her first year on the frontier Hildy encounters a skunk, a bear, and a lost Chinese baby.

From fires to landslides to the unexpected appearance of her cousin, Elsie, Hildy's life in a rough frontier town isn't at all what she expected.

New Poster for Upcoming Fox Drama Backstrom, Premiering January 2015

A new poster — and not one of our favorites — for the upcoming drama Backstrom has been released by Fox (right; click for slightly larger image).

Rainn Wilson stars as Detective Lieutenant Everett Backstrom, a man with no filter. After a five-year banishment to the traffic division for offensive behavior, he has returned from disgrace to lead Portland's newly minted S.C.U. Tasked with navigating the city's most sensitive and serious cases, he must solve each crime as he tries, and fails, to change his own self-destructive behavior.

Based on a character created by Swedish criminologist and novelist Leif G. W. Persson and produced by the creator of Bones, Backstrom premieres on January 22nd, 2015 at 9 PM ET/PT. Watch the trailer for the series from the network's upfront presentation earlier this year, below.
