O.J. Simpson's ex-wife Nicole Brown is found murdered along with her friend Ron Goldman, outside Nicole's Brentwood townhouse. Simpson is brought to the police station as a suspect. As he struggles with police interrogation and the focus of the media, Simpson's life unfolds via flashbacks, from his first meeting with Nicole in 1977, to growing up in San Francisco in the 1960s, to Simpson's and Brown's romance and marriage in 1985. The pair gradually descend into domestic squabbles over Simpson's selfish and controlling behavior, with Brown suffering depression and drug use.
Charged with the murders, Simpson panics and flees with his friend A. C. Cowlings, filmed by media. Simpson ultimately turns himself in, as his life of his prime flashes before his eyes; his friends, children, fame, and Brown.
Simpson is portrayed by Bobby Hosea.
Bobby Hosea said in a interview that he felt his portrayal of Simpson ruined his career, stating that nobody wanted to hire him after. Hosea reacted to Simpson's death in 2024 with "a mix of emotions and balances".
