The Rookie focuses on the life of John Nolan, who ends up working for the LAPD at the age of 45 after a series of extraordinary events. It explores his personal life as well as his efforts to solve various cases and keep the city free from crime and violence. Rotten Tomatoes' synopsis of the show reads:
''Starting over isn't easy, especially for small-town guy John Nolan, who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of becoming an LAPD officer. As the force's oldest rookie, he's met with skepticism from some higher-ups who see him as just a walking midlife crisis.''
The description further states,
