S1:
When Dublin-based solicitor Tara Rafferty (Amy Huberman, The Clinic)
discovers that her fiancé and fellow solicitor, Eric (Rory Keenan,
War & Peace), has been cheating on her with a colleague, she breaks
up with him, quits her job at the prestigious law firm where they
worked together, and begins accepting clients out of a makeshift
office in the back of a café.
With the help of Ray (Emmet Byrne, Red Rock) her street-smart
client-turned-assistant, private detective Meg Riley (Fiona
O'Shaughnessy, Utopia), and friend and mentor Senior Counsel Vincent
Pike (Neil Morrissey, Line of Duty), Tara takes on a series of cases
that often pit her against her former colleagues and the influential
families of the legal establishment she is trying to leave behind.
S2:
As the hit Irish legal drama returns, solicitor Tara Rafferty (Amy
Huberman, The Clinic) is embattled but not beaten. She has built a
new life for herself after leaving her cheating fiancé, Eric (Rory
Keenan, War & Peace), and the high-powered law firm where they both
worked.
But with one of her employees betraying her and another in jail, she
struggles to keep her fledgling practice afloat. Convinced that her
former boss Eric s scheming father is behind it all, Tara decides to
strike back. To pay the bills, Tara takes on clients whose legal
problems range from deportation, to divorce from a bigamist, to a
lawsuit against a convent. As she frequently faces off against Eric
and her former colleagues in court, Tara's mentor Vincent (Neil
Morrissey, Line of Duty) leads a high-level corruption inquiry that
could endanger them both.
The stellar cast also features Emmet Byrne (Burning Wishes), Fiona
O'Shaughnessy (Utopia), and Maria Doyle Kennedy (The Commitments) as
a formidable solicitor.
