Year: 1992 First Air: 1992-09-19
Overview

Renegade follows Reno Raines, a tough California detective framed for a murder he did not commit after speaking out about corruption. Forced to disappear, he becomes a roaming bounty hunter who takes down dangerous criminals while searching for the truth that will clear his name. Hunted by a determined lieutenant and protected by a few loyal allies, Reno walks a thin line between justice and survival.

Synopsis

Set in the early 1990s American West and backroads, Renegade centers on Reno Raines, a decorated police detective whose life collapses when he is accused of a killing and pushed into hiding. After testifying about wrongdoing within the department, Reno becomes a target, and the case against him is shaped by influential figures who want him silenced. With no safe way to prove his innocence through official channels, he builds a new life under the radar as a bounty hunter, tracking fugitives, protecting vulnerable people, and taking on cases that expose crime in small towns and big cities alike. His work brings him cash, contacts, and clues, but it also keeps him visible to law enforcement that still wants him captured. Supported by a close-knit team that helps him stay one step ahead, Reno balances action-packed pursuits with a steady, personal mission to clear his name.
