A warm, easy-watch legal drama with light humour, where personal baggage and courtroom skirmishes mix in a comforting, low-stakes way.

Although the attorneys are carting plenty of life's baggage, they're all determined to make the most of this unexpected second chance—and make each month's mortgage payment.
