A Man In Full: Everything We Know So Far About David E. Kelley and Regina King's Netflix Series

With the series still in production, Netflix hasn't said much about the plot of "A Man In Full" beyond a simple logline:

"In A Man in Full, when Atlanta real estate magnate Charlie Croker (Jeff Daniels) faces sudden bankruptcy, political and business interests collide as he defends his empire against those who are trying to take advantage of his disgrace."

For more details, we can turn to the synopsis of Tom Wolfe's novel, which reveals that the series is set in "a racially mixed turn-of-the-century boom town full of new riches and cunning politicians". A former college football star, Charles Croker is now a middle-aged conglomerate kingpin with a bloated ego and a staggering load of debt. Although his business turbulence is a key factor in the story, Charles is just one of many characters the novel follows as shocking events unfold in Atlanta. The triggering incident? A rumor begins to circulate about a young white heiress being sexually assaulted by a black superstar athlete. The incident has the potential to incite race riots in the area and ultimately has a profound impact on the characters' lives. Besides Charles, the character roster includes local politicians, lawyers, and Croker's company employees.
