Maren was forced to defend Alec, the arrogant son of the city's wealthiest man, in a high-profile assault case. She only took the job to pay for her daughter Caylee’s life-saving asthma medication. However, when Alec’s gang brutally bullies Caylee and her friend Phil at a local grill, Maren reaches her breaking point. Seeing her daughter's trauma, she furiously presents her credentials and severs all ties with the powerful Lawson family. During the trial, while the world assumes the Lawsons have already bought the verdict, Maren makes a shocking entrance. She isn't there to defend Alec—she has switched sides to represent the plaintiff. In this courtroom firestorm, the turncoat lawyer is out for blood. Success is her only option.
