A flawed Texas police officer, Jim Arnaud, consistently makes poor choices, causing his life to spiral out of control. Despite his best intentions, his impulsive nature and short temper often lead to unintended consequences. His relationships with his mother, a dancer and dance teacher, and his siblings are strained, and his marriage to Ros has been separated for a year. Jim's only contact with his nine-year-old daughter Crystal is limited to weekends. His colleagues, including the police chief, barely tolerate him, except for his partner Nate Lewis, who tries to look out for him. Two significant events threaten to further destabilize Jim's life: his mother's passing and Ros's plan to divorce him and move away with her new boyfriend, seeking full custody of Crystal.
