CHICAGO, ILLINOIS: Based on Stephen L Carter's novel 'Emperor of Ocean Park', MGM+'s latest series of the same name weaves a suspenseful plot that keeps viewers hooked, even with its weekly release schedule.

The series begins with the death of Judge Oliver Garland (Forest Whitaker). Although it was ruled as natural cause, his daughter Mariah (Tiffany Mack) suspects it was murder.
