Crossing Jordan
Programme Synopsis
Jill Hennessy stars as Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh, a sexy, smart and fearless medical examiner with a checkered past. She works under the guidance of Dr. Garrett Macy (Miguel Ferrer), the no-nonsense head of the morgue, and alongside Detective Woodrow Woody Hoyt (Jerry O’Connell,), who puts in the legwork to hunt down the perpetrators of the crimes they investigate.
