When a severed arm is found by a tourist out fishing, Andrew Yancy - a one-time detective demoted to restaurant inspector in Southern Florida - is pulled into a world of greed and corruption that decimates the land and environment in both Florida and the Bahamas.
Engineered as an anthology, each season of True Detective introduces new cast ensembles, characters, settings, and self-contained narratives.
The show's first season is set in Louisiana and follows a pair of Louisiana State Police homicide detectives (McConaughey and Harrelson), and their pursuit of a serial killer over the course of seventeen years.
