　　30年前，他被冤入狱，被关18年终于因为新的DNA证据被证无罪。结果刚提出3600万赔偿却又再次成了血腥杀人案的唯一嫌疑人被判终身监禁。究竟是真的有罪还是警方栽赃陷害？纪录片播出之后，已经有15万人为他请愿。虽然判决已经论定，但是真相却永远没人知道......

 The plot revolves around Richard Bean (Kline), a Broadway star known for his egotism, who experiences a public breakdown and retreats to his hometown. After returning to the family-run theater where he first discovered his talent, he finds his father, the former artistic director, suffering from dementia. The theater, now reduced to a dinner theater serving murder mysteries, is run by his brother (Tenney) and sister-in-law, who is also the town’s mayor. Determined to restore the theater’s former glory, Richard plans to stage a great American classic, with himself as director and star, in an effort to save both the theater and the town.

　　本剧基于Jeff Pearlman的书籍《Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s》创作，聚焦1980年代的洛杉矶湖人队，讲述队员的职业生涯和个人生活，以及那些在球场内外帮助定义了一个时代的非凡人物。在"表演时刻"期间，湖人队称霸NBA，5夺总冠军，是体育界最受崇敬、最具统治力的王朝之一。
　　"Showtime"曾被用作剧名，表示湖人队的"showtime era"。但由于与美国有线台Showtime撞名，并且该台是HBO竞争对手，剧集为避免混淆而放弃了沿用书名。
