The procedural is in the fast-paced world of a legal aid office in New York City and follows Gwen Sullivan (Ash), an opinionated attorney whose passion for her job and clients make her arguably the most talented public defender in her district. The cast also includes Megan Hutchings (Reign) as Tracy Campbell, a public defender and Gwen?s friend and roommate.
