Synopsis:

Retired professor Charles (Ted Danson) feels life has nothing new in store for him. A year after his wife's passing, he's become stuck in his routine and grown distant from his daughter Emily (Mary Elizabeth Ellis). But when he spies a classified ad from private investigator Julie (Lilah Richcreek Estrada), he's inspired to roll the dice on a new adventure. Charles' mission: to go undercover inside the Pacific View Retirement Home in San Francisco and solve the mystery of a stolen family heirloom. Everyone, residents and staff alike, is a potential suspect, and it's up to Charles to solve the case without landing on the radar of Didi (Stephanie Beatriz), the all-seeing, all-knowing director of Pacific View. But keeping a low profile proves difficult as the affable Charles quickly endears himself to his fellow residents. Being a "man on the inside" sends Charles on an exciting journey that makes him realize there's a lot more life left to be had - and allows him to reconnect with Emily in the process.

From creator Mike Schur, A MAN ON THE INSIDE is based on the documentary THE MOLE AGENT, a 2021 Oscar(R) nominee for Best Documentary feature.
