Plot Synopsis

A passion project of the late James Gandolfini, THE NIGHT OF is an eight-episode limited series that delves into the intricate story of a fictitious murder case in New York City. Pakistani-American college student Nasir "Naz" Khan, who lives with his parents in Queens, NY, takes his father's taxi to go a party in Manhattan. But what starts as a perfect night for Naz becomes a nightmare when he's arrested for murder. As attorney John Stone counsels Naz, lead detective Dennis Box investigates the crime. And while awaiting his formal arraignment at Rikers Island, Naz realizes that his survival -- or perhaps his demise -- rests with a particular inmate, Freddy.
