The story of Paradise season 1 is set in the fictional town of Paradise, which is a high-class society inhabited by the wealthiest and most influential people in the United States. Agent Xavier Collins works as the head of security for Cal Bradford (played by James Marsden), a former president of the United States.
In the series, Agent Collins' life takes a grave turn one morning when he visits Bradford's residence and finds him dead on the bedroom floor. Agent Collins is the last person who has seen Bradford alive, and he shared a complex relationship with him before his murder. Hence, all the suspicions are automatically directed towards him.
Collins soon finds himself wrapped in a high-profile murder case. In the Hulu crime drama series, different power dynamics begin to surround the lead character. Though Paradise was created with the dream of making a peaceful society, the truth is very different. The series chronicles a world that is far more corrupted than it seems.
After Agent Xavier is taken into interrogation, he finds himself amid dark political strife between characters including tech tycoon Samantha, the mental therapist and social engineer Gabrielle, and the bodyguard Billy. As seen in the trailer for the series, actress Sarah Shahi, who plays Gabrielle, believes in Agent Collins' innocence for some reason.
