About

You can watch The Cape (2011) for free on PBS.

"The Cape" is a drama series following Vince Faraday, an honest cop on a corrupt police force, who finds himself framed for a series of murders and presumed dead. He is forced into hiding, leaving behind his wife Dana and son, Trip. Fueled by a desire to reunite with his family and to battle the criminal forces that have overtaken Palm City, Vince Faraday becomes "The Cape" - his son's favorite comic book superhero - and takes the law into his own hands.

A decaying city rots under the thumb of a crooked police force, leaving a framed officer with nothing but a mask and a vendetta. This pulp-inspired vigilante tale trades police procedure for high-flying justice in a world where the line between hero and criminal has completely vanished.
