Lee lives and works in a rare bookstore tucked in the heart of Tulsa – a local refuge and unofficial community hub. While Lee’s no idealist, he’s fiercely committed to exposing corruption and unearthing the city’s hidden rot, even when it puts him at risk. His constant sleuthing pulls him deep into Tulsa’s underbelly – and often away from his 14-year-old daughter Francis (Ryan Kiera Armstrong, soon to be seen in the Buffy, the Vampire Slayer reboot), a precocious kid who’s inherited his curiosity and longs to join him on his adventures.

Other cast members include Kaniehtiio Horn, Tim Blake Nelson, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Kyle MacLachlan and Keith David.
