A sharp, fast-paced legal drama that keeps you hooked with courtroom clashes and moral gray areas, anchored by a charismatic, flawed lead.

Tagline: It takes a predator to put one away.
Overview: Notorious Los Angeles defense attorney Sebastian Stark becomes disillusioned with his career after his successful defense of a wife-abuser results in the wife's death. After more than a month trying to come to grips with his situation, he is invited by the Los Angeles district attorney to become a public prosecutor so he can apply his unorthodox-but-effective talents to putting guilty people away instead of putting them back on the street.
How it feels: Tense, cynical, earnest and dark. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Justice, morality, redemption, family
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
