Los Angeles, 1950: When New York investigative reporter, Mike Foyle, learns that his World War II combat buddy, Bernie Crusher, is dead of an "apparent suicide" he immediately suspects foul play. Arriving in Los Angeles to replace Crusher, who was reporting on the subcommittee of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), Foyle is is faced with a mountain of roadblocks in picking up a winding, murderous, trail that leads to a scandalous Hollywood statutory rape trial and a dark secret about a powerful Southern California family. With colleague Kitty Chandler, Foyle is able to uncover Crusher's last moments that point to the historic 1950 mid-term California elections. Set against the infamous Hollywood Blacklist, California Rain is a noir break from the stereotypical homicide police investigation with a "twist" ending.
