Storyline
Christian Dorsin has just won a major notorious case. Unfortunately, his firm, Dorsin & Brown, gets intense backlash from the local Miami community. A coup fueled by Carmen Estes, a relentless journalist with a heavy social media influence. To save the law firm, Christian’s childhood friend and paralegal, Rachel Salomon, suggests reconnecting with the Haitian and immigrant community that Christian abandoned when he moved up the social ladder. It’s a bold move on Emma’s part, which Scott Brown, Christian’s loyal firm partner and college friend supports.
A blackmailer surfaces and targets Christian awaiting for the perfect moment to strike and serve their own kind of justice. Will the new, mysterious, private investigator recruited by the firm, Johnny Toleus be up to the task of unveiling this close opponent or will the blackmailer succeed in bringing down Christian and Dorsin & Brown along with him?
