More details about Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise and where you can watch

Jesse Stone arrives in Paradise seeking a fresh start after personal and professional failures. Appointed as the town’s police chief, he quickly realizes that the seemingly calm community hides disturbing truths. Jesse investigates a series of violent crimes, including murder and sexual abuse, while struggling with alcoholism and loneliness. His unorthodox methods and quiet determination help him uncover corruption and brutality that others choose to ignore. As the case unfolds, Jesse is forced to confront his own pain and moral boundaries. The film focuses as much on Jesse’s inner struggles as the criminal investigation, delivering a thoughtful and emotionally powerful crime drama with a reflective, noir-style tone.
