Successful defense lawyer Sadie Ellis starts to fall for her charismatic client, pediatric surgeon Billy Brennan, who is accused of murdering his girlfriend 24 years ago.

As Sadie tries to keep her relationship with Billy strictly professional, she works on a case involving one of Isaiah’s oldest friends, Jonah Porter. Also, Cameron is conflicted about whether or not to convince her client to testify against his own cousin in order to avoid jail time for a murder he didn’t commit.

Sadie confronts Billy about new evidence in the case against him, and his explanation disappoints her. Meanwhile, a piece of evidence surfaces and it could expose a massive scandal, and Cameron and Tiffany defend a psychic accused of grand larceny.

Sadie interviews Billy's ex-classmates hoping to find information about a key piece of evidence. Also, she defends Elena Garcia, her childhood best friend, in a probation violation case; Cameron is asked on a date by her former classmate, Peter; Albert's unpredictable father, Tyson, comes to visit; and Isaiah faces off in court against Ivan Sturgill, his former law partner and current rival.

When the DNA results come back in Billy's case, Sadie avoids the gag order placed on revealing them by making a scene in court to bolster public support for him. Also, Albert is tormented by his client, Rodney Hill, who divulges information about the location of his murder victim, knowing that he is protected by attorney client privilege, and Cameron represents Tessa Pratt, who was issued a cease and desist order for publicly shaming her rapist.
