The sleuth's stepdaughter Molly (Caitlin McGee) is in the middle of preparing for her wedding to Griffin (Austin Scott) – an investigative journalist that's working on a story which is set to expose crimes involving tech billionaire Rick Eden (James Purefoy).
Those wedding plans become upended when a mysterious death draws Monk out of retirement.
Fans of the show will be delighted to see a host of familiar faces reprising their roles alongside Shalhoub, including Ted Levine, Jason Gray-Stanford, Traylor Howard, Melora Hardin and Hector Elizondo. Bitty Schram, who played Monk's nurse for two seasons, is the only major player that's absent.
