In a system corrupted by politics, greed and sex, there's an honest man in Buffalo who's made it his life's mission to hold his peers accountable. Dean Alessi is an attorney in Buffalo's Lawyer Disciplinary Office who fights for justice, even as he battles his own personal demons. Dean took an oath to protect the public from bad lawyers, and is willing to risk everything to keep that sacred promise.
