In JESSE STONE: SEA CHANGE, having settled in as the police chief of the small New England town of Paradise, Mass., Jesse Stone's (Selleck) ultimate nightmare has come true: He finds himself filling his time writing parking tickets and struggling to keep his ever-present attraction to beautiful women and booze under control.

With one of his officers on maternity leave and another fighting for his life after suffering a gunshot wound, Jesse's restlessness gets the best of him and he re-opens a 12-year-old cold case involving the murder of a bank teller. Jesse finds his unsolved case unfolding while he's also investigating the tawdry circumstances surrounding an alleged rape aboard a yacht during the town's annual Race Week.

Viola Davis, Vito Rezza and Kohl Sudduth reprise their roles as the staff of police officers whom Jesse inherited with the job. Stephen McHattie reprises his role as State Homicide Commander Healy, William Devane as Jesse's confidant, Dr. Dix, and Saul Rubinek as Jesse's now convicted and jailed former benefactor, Hasty Hathaway. Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Kathy Baker ("Picket Fences") joins the cast as a Paradise police officer, along with Sean Young ("CSI") and Rebecca Pidgeon ("The Unit") who star as young women who catch Jesse's eye, Mika Boorem ("Dawson's Creek") as a troubled teenager whom Jesse counsels, and James Gammon ("Nash Bridges") as a retired security guard with ties to the unsolved crime.

JESSE STONE: SEA CHANGE was produced by TWS Productions II and Brandman Productions, Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television. Emmy Award nominee Michael Brandman ("The Heidi Chronicles" and "Into the Woods") and Tom Selleck are the executive producers; Emmy Award nominee Steven Brandman ("The Heidi Chronicles") is the producer. Emmy Award nominee Robert Harmon ("Ike: Countdown to D-Day" and "Gotti," as well as the three previous Jesse Stone movies) directed from a script by Ronni Kern ("Helen of Troy").
