Once a rising star in the San Francisco Police Department, Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) was legendary for using unconventional means to solve the department's most baffling cases. However, after the tragic (and still unsolved) murder of his wife Trudy, Monk developed an extreme case of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Now consumed by peculiar obsessions and wracked with hundreds of phobias, Monk has lost his police badge and struggles with even the simplest everyday tasks.
However, Monk now has the help of a personal assistant, Sharona Fleming (seasons 1-3, played by Bitty Schram), and later Natalie Teeger (from season 3, Traylor Howard) to help him in his new role as a private consultant. His former boss and loyal friend Captain Leland Stottlemeyer (Ted Levine) still calls upon him to provide unique insights into cases that have the cops stumped. Eager Lieutenant Randall Disher (Jason Gray-Stanford) and Monk's therapist Dr. Kroger (Stanley Kamel) complete the regular cast.
Although Monk battles against his own fears and the most impossible of crimes, he still has two goals that elude him - to solve his wife's murder, and to regain back his position on the San Francisco police force. Can he win through?
