B.L. Stryker: The Complete Second Season" - SYNOPSIS:
B.L. Stryker is in his mid-forties, resides on an unpainted two-story houseboat, and drives a 1960 white Cadillac convertible in need of a face-lift. Stryker was one of the best vice detectives on the New Orleans Police Force where he solved his cases by getting inside the criminal's mind. When it began to destroy him, Stryker quit the force and moved home to Palm Beach, FL to do odd jobs and work out at Tuck's Gym with his friend Oz. His ex-wife, Kimberly, also resides in Palm Beach and is living with her fifth husband. Each of her husbands seems to be wealthier than the prior, and her irritating ability to flaunt her wealth and good looks really gets under Stryker's skin.
When Stryker returns to his hometown, he is irritated daily by the uptight Chief of police, his social-climbing ex-wife, an annoying neighbor and useless secretary. Stryker is inevitably called to Palm Beach Police headquarters to help on the toughest cases. Stryker soon finds his lifestyle and principles often clash with Palm Beach's rich and powerful residents.
