Jim Longworth

Jim 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 self-confidence, people put up with him because he's a little too charming to ignore and damned good at solving murders.
Callie Cargill

Callie Cargill 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, despite her general dislike of cops.
Carlos Sanchez

Longworth's golf partner, friend and colleague, Carlos Sanchez is 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 is often forced into compromising positions to try and prove one of his partner's theories.
Colleen Manus

Colleen Manus is the smart and tough Regional Director for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Florida's state police.

Arrests were way down in her region, and the bad press that followed drove her decision to go outside the Florida Law Enforcement family. Because of Jim?s track record and rate of closure, she gives him a lot of rope, but she has no problem yanking him back if he gets out of line.

She has a quick mind and an even sharper tongue, making her the perfect foil for Longworth's dry wit and self-serving humour.
Daniel Green

Lab tech Daniel Green was a grad student who interned for Carlos and eventually got hired on to work as an official employee in the medical examiner?s office.

Nerdy or not, his expertise of all things science-related comes in handy in surprising ways for Longworth as he helps him crack cases. Daniel is thrilled to help Longworth in any way he can, especially if it means he gets to be involved with other police work that he finds interesting.
Jeff Cargill

Jeff Cargill is Callie's son, a good-looking, smart teenager who struggles to reconcile his parents' odd and up-for-grabs marital status. Jeff constantly tests his boundaries with his mother and is often frustrated by her shifting job status, but he is deeply concerned with her happiness and well-being.

While he likes Jim, he still maintains a strong bond with his father Ray, who resides in witness protection.
