This legal drama follows Marcie Diggs (Vinessa Antoine, Being Erica), a star corporate lawyer who, after her beloved aunt commits suicide following a malicious prosecution, decides to reconsider her priorities.

Set in the gritty arena of a legal aid office in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, the team of lawyers that Marcie works with are a curious band of do-gooders, cynics, and scrappers - messy souls struggling to keep personal disappointment and demons out of their practice.

Marcie is driven by one thing - to never again allow innocent lives to be destroyed by the justice system.

In Season 2, Marcie and her fellow crusaders at legal aid continue their fight against a criminal justice system that shows no mercy to our most at risk citizens.
