Plot Synopsis

Based on the 2021 documentary THE MOLE AGENT, A MAN ON THE INSIDE is a half-hour comedy series that follows Charles, a retired man, who gets a new lease on life when he answers an ad from a PI and becomes a mole in a secret investigation. Retired professor Charles feels life has nothing new in store for him. A year after his wife's passing, he's become stuck in his routine and grown distant from his daughter Emily. But when he spies a classified ad from private investigator Julie, he's inspired to roll the dice on a new adventure. Charles' mission: to go undercover inside the Pacific View Retirement Home in San Francisco and solve the mystery of a stolen family heirloom. Everyone, residents and staff alike, is a potential suspect, and it's up to Charles to solve the case without landing on the radar of Didi, the all-seeing, all-knowing director of Pacific View. But keeping a low profile proves difficult as the affable Charles quickly endears himself to his fellow residents. Being a "man on the inside" sends Charles on an exciting journey that makes him realize there's a lot more life left to be had -- and allows him to reconnect with Emily in the process. All eight episodes of A MAN ON THE INSIDE dropped on Thursday, November 21, 2024 on Netflix.
