Jesse Stone Sea Change (2007)
When Police Chief Jesse Stone's relationship with his ex-wife worsens, he fears he will relapse into alcoholism. To get his mind off his problems, Jesse begins working on the unsolved murder of a bank teller shot during a robbery. Meanwhile, Stone's investigation of an alleged rape draws him into conflict with the town council, which hopes to preserve Paradise's reputation as an ideal seaside resort.
Sometimes it takes a flawed man to solve the perfect murder.
Jesse Stone: You know Hasty, when I said you saved my life I wasn't talking about the night I arrested you. I meant you saved my life because you hired me. Albeit for the wrong reasons.
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
First in the film series to feature Kathy Baker as Officer Rose Gammon. Her character replaces Officer Molly Crane, played by Viola Davis, in the three previous Jesse Stone movies.
This is number 4 in the series of made-for-television films featuring Jesse Stone.

Continuity
The first time Jesse Stone visits Hasty Hathaway in prison, the number on Hasty's prison garb is 9501; however, on the second visit the number is 9505.
In the scenes just before Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck) stops Terry Genest (James Preston Rogers) for following him, the front window is blacked out. The same is done to the windows on Jesse Stone's patrol car when he makes the quick turnaround. Both are clear again in the pull over.
When Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck) stops Terry Genest (James Preston Rogers) for following him, the driver's window is up about four inches; in the final shot (before Terry rolls window up), the window glass is barely visible.
Factual errors
Jesse Stone visits the hospital where Leann/Rebecca's mother recuperated. The nun speaking with Jesse is fingering a rosary hung around her neck as a necklace. A Catholic rosary is never used as a necklace, especially by a nun or priest.
Incorrectly regarded as goofs
The decal with "police" on the hood of the chief's cars should be spelled backwards to be read in a rear view mirror. While this is a common practice, it is not a universal requirement.
Revealing mistakes
When Chief Stone and Rose Gammon are walking out to where Leeann Lewis is supposedly buried, they are carrying nothing. However, when they get there, Jesse is digging a hole with a large shovel, and a pick can be seen next to the hole he is digging.
