Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Tom Selleck reprises his role as Jesse Stone in the prequel to last season's high-rated movie "Stone Cold." The movies are based on the best-selling books by Robert B. Parker. Stephen Baldwin and Stephanie March also star. JESSE STONE: NIGHT PASSAGE reveals how Stone (Selleck) became Police Chief of Paradise, Massachusetts after being fired from the Los Angeles Police
Department. An unlikely candidate, Stone is recruited by Paradise's board of selectmen in the hopes that he won't dig too deeply into the town's dirty secrets. Within moments of being hired and still drunk from the night before, Stone must investigate a domestic violence situation involving Paradise's resident hothead, whose ties to a local bank manager expose a money-laundering scheme.
