Tom Selleck as Private Detective Thomas Magnum
Storyline
After more than 13 years, Thomas Magnum returns to his parents' house. The reason for this journey is the death of his grandfather, with whom he had a very close bond.
Old memories are brought back to life during this visit. Memories of his brother, Joey, who lost his life in the Vietnam War. Memories of his mother, Katherine, and of his stepfather, Frank Peterson.
Even today, the detective firmly believes that his stepfather Frank embezzled an important long ago letter. In his opinion, this letter is the reason why his family drowned in misfortune.
