Wirtschaftsanwalt Nick Fallin, in der Kanzlei seines Vaters Burton Fallin tätig, wurde wegen Drogenbesitzes zu einer Bewährungsstrafe verurteilt. Zu seinen Auflagen gehört Sozialdienst bei der Jugendrechtshilfe. Schon am ersten Tag wird er von Alvin Masterson, dem Leiter der Einrichtung, als Vertreter des kleinen Hunter Reed zu Gericht geschickt. Als Nick hört, der Vater des Jungen habe dessen Mutter umgebracht, lehnt er den Fall ab. Doch Laurie Solt vom Jugendamt stimmt ihn um.

I just started watching this show a couple days ago on Amazon Prime. I'm well into S2 and will probably finish up S3 in the next few days. Law genre will always get my attention but the strong character/relationship focus is wonderful. Dabney Coleman as Nick's father does a great job. Also, it's a treat to see stars like Aaron Paul (Jesse Pinkman Breaking Bad) and Erik Knudsen (Alec Sadler, Continuum) as kids.
This show has brought me through hell and back—but in a good way. I might be privileged but I could relate with every episode of the show. The professional, father son, father mother, community, mental health, city challenges and the extreme pathos and quietness of the acting. Drove me crazy, though. Made me depressed and sad a couple times. Beware.
After the first couple of episodes got well into this and have just binged watched the first 2 seasons. Starting season 3 now and will be sad to see it end. Highly recommend this.
