McBride (John Larroquette) introduces his young associate, Phil Newberry (Matt Lutz), to his mentor and idol, superstar defense attorney Grayson Franks (Madison Mason).  After a dazzling display of his courtroom magic, Franks invites the two men to his palatial home to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the day he passed the bar exam.  Franks’ wife Tracy (Cindy Picket), son Dean (Brian McGovern), daughter-in-law Rochelle (Melissa Keller) and devoted personal secretary Kathy Brown (Delaine Yates) are among the friends and family on hand to honor the great man.

 Several days later, Detective Roberta Hansen (Marta DuBois) calls with bad news. Franks was found stabbed to death outside his home.  Apparently it was a robbery gone bad; his wallet and diamond encrusted Rolex are both missing.  When 18-year old Juan Lobell (Michael Esparza) is arrested trying to pawn the Rolex, the case takes an even more personal twist.   more
