Hotshot attorney Kevin Hill's life changes overnight when he is given custody of his recently deceased cousin's 10-moth-old baby Sarah. As he struggles to adapt his lifestyle in order to care for Sarah, including hiring full-time nanny George, his law firm starts to cut back his workload because they feel he is unfocused. But Kevin, insulted by their actions, quits and lands a job at an all female boutique law firm that coincidentally is more understanding of his situation than he expected. Later, after settling into his new responsibilities, Kevin finds himself on the other side of the bench against his former law firm and his best friend, attorney Dame Ruiz when he must defend a woman who has accused a popular baseball player of sexual assault.

In order to get temporary custody over baby Sarah, Kevin must convince court-appointed social worker Eleanor Frank that he's fit to be a guardian, but after realizing that he's not well prepared, Kevin scrambles to tie up loose ends, including finding Sarah a doctor, forcing him to call in a favor from a female pediatrician he once dated and dumped unceremoniously.Meanwhile, Kevin and Nicolette represent a 22-year-old woman who is being sued by her mother because of bad investment decisions on her $7 million trust fund, which she made by ""consulting"" with her father…who is deceased.
