After a 12-year prison sentence for armed robbery, Jimmy Rose returns home to mixed emotions from his family. His daughter and grandson welcome him with open arms, but his wife and son are cold and indifferent, having learned to live life without him. Determined to win back their affections, Jimmy decides to stick to the terms of his parole and avoid everyone from his criminal past.

But when Jimmy nds out that his beloved granddaughter is now a drug user and runaway, he’s determined to do anything he can to bring her home—even if it means getting involved with the very man who landed him in jail.

Episode 1
Returning home after a 12-year prison sentence, Jimmy Rose is greeted both with open arms and disdain from his family. His wife, Jackie, is particularly distant, and so Jimmy decides to stick to the terms of his parole: hold down a job and stay right in the eyes of the law. But when he finds out that his beloved granddaughter, Ellie, ran away and is now a drug addict, Jimmy will risk everything to bring her home.

Episode 2
After being rushed to the hospital to be treated for his injuries, Jimmy calls Roy and does a runner. He returns to the pizza shop only to see the employees talking to a man from his criminal past—a man whose actions added time to Jimmy’s sentence, and whom Jimmy wants out of his life for good.

Episode 3
After taking on Ellie’s debt, Jimmy decides that the only way to keep his family safe is to work for Tony, despite feeling heartbroken over Jackie’s betrayal. But when Tony asks him to do a single job that will cancel the entire debt, Jimmy can’t be sure he’ll come out of it alive.

Trials of Jimmy Rose Marathon, Thursday beginning at 8 p.m. on PBS 6.
