Razor-sharp, meticulous attorney Margaret Wright hires her talented but scruffy, aimless son, Todd, as her law firm's in-house investigator

Margaret and Todd work two seemingly unrelated cases, only to discover a key piece of information in the details of Todd’s humorously boring civil case could help Margaret’s high-profile client.

Margaret and Todd tackle a case involving a murder on live local morning news and must rethink their working relationship after Todd decides to open his own PI business.

Lawrence enlists Todd's services to find out the sexual orientation of a judge. Also, with her client's livelihood at stake, Margaret and Lyle search for a reluctant witness.

While Margaret tries to save her struggling law firm by taking on a case involving a large cosmetics company with deep pockets, Todd is determined to crack an important FBI investigation that will seal the fate of Crest, Folding & Wright, one way or another.
