SEASON OVERVIEW:
A dramedy shaped by Denis Leary and Peter Tolan, the creators and executive producers of The Job, Rescue Me centers on the wheels within wheels of 62 Truck, a New York City firehouse, and its members’ constant struggle to overcome the trauma caused by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In the limelight is Tommy Gavin (Denis Leary, The Simpsons, Family Guy), the senior firefighter who is at sixes and sevens since the loss of his cousin and best friend, Jimmy Keefe (James McCaffrey, Sex and the City, Revenge), and his separation from his wife, Janet Gavin (Andrea Roth, Numb3rs, Lost).
Although he is cranky, double dealer, self-destructive and a relapsed alcoholic, Tommy has his heart in the right place. Well, despite the fact that he is devoted to his family and fellow firefighters and most of his actions are good intentioned, they think he studies his own interests. Over the years, Janet and Tommy had a complicated “love-hate” relationship. “Unofficially divorced”, the two sometimes appear to be united. In order to keep a close watch on Janet and their three children, Colleen (Natalie Distler, Kidnapped, Last Man Standing), Connor (Trevor Heins, Gracie, The Love Guru) and Katy (Olivia Crocicchia, Law & Order, CSI: NY), Tommy moves into a house across the street from them. The youngsters use to pit their parents against each other. On top of all that, they are materialistic… even their love is for sale, depending on which parent bids the most. Strangely enough, the master of the house opens his heart to Jimmy… Through these unusual conversations, Tommy disembarrasses himself of the stresses and fears amassed on his job.
