This is what was previously released about the plot of the series:

“It is set in the town of Avalon on Catalina Island, where Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department Detective Nicole “Nic” Searcy (Campbell) runs a small bureau. Catalina has a local population that caters to over 1 million tourists a year, and every day when the ferries arrive, hundreds of potential new stories enter the island. Detective Searcy finds herself embroiled in a mystery that will define her career and test everything she knows about herself and the island.”

“Nic is the only detective assigned to the Catalina Island substation. Somewhat inscrutable, Nic is not easily intimidated and stands firm in her morals. Ironically, her strong moral compass is what banished her to Catalina’s largest city, Avalon. It’s a job no LAPD officer wants, but Nic soon discovers that her valuable detective skills are needed more in Avalon than she could have imagined.”

Kelley was the creator and executive producer of Avalon, and scriptwriter of the pilot. Connelly, Dana Calvo, Ross Fineman (The Lincoln Lawyer), Barry Jossen and Tana Jamieson were executive producers. The series is produced by A+E Studios and 20th Television.
