About Memphis Beat
Memphis Beat centers on Dwight Hendricks, a quirky Memphis police detective with an intimate connection to the city, a passion for blues music and a close relationship with his mother. He is "the keeper of Memphis," a Southern gentleman who is protective of his fellow citizens, reverential of the city's history and deeply rooted in its blues music scene.

Despite his impeccable instincts as a detective, Dwight's loose, relaxed style of police work rubs his demanding new boss, Lt. Tanya Rice, the wrong way. But Dwight may eventually win her over to a Memphis state of mind, especially when he takes the stage at his favourite hangout to perform a legendary song or two.

Also Staring are Davey Sutton, a uniform cop who considers himself to be Dwight's protégé, Junebug as Dwight's effervescent mother, Charlie White, aka Whitehead, Dwight's seasoned, hypertensive partner, Reginald Greenback, a fellow detective struggling to make ends meet with two teenage daughters, and Sgt. JC Lightfoot, an officer who uses Chickasaw tribal wisdom in his police work.
