Storyline

Corporate lawyer Nick Fallin is doing community service as a child advocate to satisfy part of his criminal sentence. He figures he'll do his time and get back to his life until his first case hits too close to home. He encounters a family torn apart and then his human side when he can't bring himself to just play the game and move on. But the distraction may derail his promising corporate career.

Quotes

Judge Stanton: Here are the terms of your plea bargain, Mr. Fallin. Three years probation, $10,0000 fine, and since you seem so clearly adept at working in corporate law, I am sentencing you to 1,500 hours of community service, working for Children's Legal Services as a child advocate.
