改编自2011年布莱德利·库珀主演的同名电影，男主角布莱恩·芬奇（Brian Finch）发现了一种具有神秘力量的药物NZT，于是他便使用自己获得的全新超能力帮助FBI解决案件。
这部剧集由《愚人善事》（My Name Is Earl）创作人Greg Garcia打造。故事讲述23岁的Jimmy Chance与一个女人一夜风流之后，对方竟生下了他的女儿。更糟的是，这个女人随后被判处死刑，Jimmy必须独自抚养这个孩子。 对已经问题重重的Chance一家来说，一个新家庭成员的意外出现让他们更加头疼。23岁的Jimmy Chance是个生活没有着落的年轻人，白天给父亲洗游泳池挣生活费，晚上和一群狐朋狗友在一起狂欢。他没有自己的房子，只能跟母亲Virginia（Martha Plimpton扮演）和父亲Burt（Garret Dillahunt扮演）挤在一起。 美丽的Lucy（Bijou Phillips扮演）让Jimmy看到了生活的一丝曙光，两人仅用两个小时便坠入情网－－至少Jimmy觉得这是一次「美丽的邂逅」。可Jimmy很快就发现了Lucy的真实身份：她竟然是一个在逃的重犯！Lucy被警方抓获后，Jimmy的麻烦随之而来…… 数月之后，Jimmy到当地监狱去探望Lucy，发现Lucy竟然已经生下了自己的女儿！Lucy很快将被执行死刑，抚养孩子的「重担」责无旁贷地落在Jimmy身上。不知所措的Jimmy将女儿抱回了家，但他的家人并没有对这个小家伙表示出任何好感。古板严肃的母亲Virginia十五岁时怀孕生下了Jimmy，不愿意帮Jimmy再抚养「另一个孩子」。父亲Burt虽然对自己突然当上「爷爷」并不吃惊，但他却担心这个孩子可能带有「孩子他妈」的「谋杀基因」。Jimmy的堂兄Mike对这个孩子同样没有好感，因为有孩子在，Jimmy就不能一天到晚跟他在一起鬼混了。祖母「Maw Maw」（Cloris Leachman扮演）与这一家人联系不多，更是帮不上忙。 如果Jimmy有勇气和爱捉弄老板的杂货店女收银员Sabrina（Shannon Marie Woodward邀请）约会，她倒是个帮Jimmy共同抚养孩子的「最佳人选」。 Jimmy能当一个合格的好父亲吗？他的家人真那么铁石心肠吗？只有时间能给出答案。 转自 http://kanmeiju.net/detail/1334.html
As Murder, She Wrote saunters through its sixth (of an eventual 12) season, star Angela Lansbury maintains her eternally buoyant and inquisitive air as Jessica Fletcher, professional writer and amateur sleuth. Though Jessica continued to investigate murders in her home town of Cabot Cove and elsewhere (in the worlds of high finance, opera, and voodoo, among other settings), this season began the practice of guest detective episodes, introduced by Jessica as either a story she wrote or a tale told by a friend, but starring a variety of quirky investigators: An ex-football player (Ken Howard, The White Shadow) paired with a clever poodle; a television crime-show producer who solved crime in real life (Diana Canova, Soap); a stout Irish detective (longtime character actor Pat Hingle); an abrasive homicide cop (Barry Newman, Vanishing Point); as well as recurring Murder, She Wrote characters like former jewel thief Dennis Stanton (Keith Michell) and British secret agent Michael Haggerty (Len Cariou). The producers were obviously hoping to use Murder, She Wrote's popularity to spin-off new series, but nothing from this season took off and viewer resistance soon brought the practice to an end. Executives must have been surprised to discover that, though murder mysteries are plot-driven, this show's success depends heavily on the undeniable charm of star Lansbury. Still, these one-off episodes are of a consistent quality with Lansbury's, and viewers open to variety will enjoy them just as much. The rest of the season features the usual astonishing array of guests, including movie stars old (Donald O'Connor, Singin' in the Rain) and recent (Elliott Gould, The Long Goodbye), television stalwarts (Shirley Jones, The Partridge Family; Jerry Stiller, The King of Queens; Doris Roberts, Everyone Loves Raymond; Kevin Tighe, Battlestar Galactica; and Gavin McLeod, The Love Boat), and D-list celebrities to die for (Dack Rambo, Morgan Brittany, Susan Anton, and more).
主创确认本剧会有第二季。
