Following a crisis of conscience that has jeopardized her future, Jane Bingum (Brooke Elliott) is left fighting disbarment and needing to reclaim her law career at Harrison & Parker. When her legal brilliance prompts Jay Parker to take her back, Jane works with her knowing assistant, Teri, and her "guardian angel," Fred, for clients including an 8-year-old in need of experimental heart surgery, two wives who learn their husband is a bigamist, a missing father who has seemingly returned from the dead, and an undercover cop fighting police corruption. Struggling with her past as Deb Dobkins, Jane must also reconcile her old life with her new one as she works alongside Deb's grieving boyfriend, Grayson, and lives with the late fashion model's roommate, Stacy. Yet when a new woman suddenly enters Grayson's life, Jane must decide how much to tell him about their past together.
