About the show
Nick Fallin is a corporate lawyer with a troubled past, working for his father's law firm. He was busted for drug possession and sentenced to 1500 hours' community service, representing children at Legal Services of Pittsburgh.

Nick must now juggle these two separate worlds, while dealing with his own inner demons and attempting to live up to his father's expectations.
