Theodor Hoffman (Daniel Benzali) je prominentní obhájce prestižní advokátní kanceláře v Los Angeles. Po několika povedených obhajobách bohatých klientů se dostává k případu brutální vraždy patnáctileté Julie Castello (Bobbie Phillips). Z její vraždy je obviněna mladá Hollywoodská hvězda Neil Avedon (Jason Gedrick). Niel má problémy s alkoholem a drogami, což bylo také důvodem k jeho obvinění. Celá seriálová sezóna je sice protkána i jinými případy, ale velká část dílů pojednává právě o případu Neila Avedona.
