Overview
Public defender Julia Gearyās star is rising, and now sheās got her first murder case defending local denizen Ray Belmar in the death of a homeless man. But Juliaās professional and personal challenges are mounting. First, sheās assigned an intern whose arrogance is insufferable. Then, her widowed mother-in-law, whose home Julia and her son Calvin share, announces her plans to re-marry, meaning theyāll have to find a new place to live. And to top things off, Juliaās boss removes her from the case, saying that sheās lost perspective, replacing her with an attorney who advises Ray to plead guilty.

Julia canāt shake the suspicion that the murder, and the subsequent killing of a homeless woman, is linked to the death of a state legislator who had been crusading for political reform. With the help of Duck Creekās homeless community and her old friend, Sheriffās Deputy Wayne Peterson, she launches her investigationābut then the anonymous threats start pouring in.
Ā
Just as Julia begins to uncover the ways the system is shockingly stacked against those on the fringes of society, she makes an even more damning discovery. Someone close to her is harboring a dark secret they are desperate to protectāeven if that means silencing Julia once and for all.
