Plot Synopsis

Coming from a famous Memphis family known for taking on injustice, brilliant lawyer Sydney Strait used to work at her father Elijah's legendary Civil Rights law firm until their tumultuous relationship got in the way. After barely speaking to him for years, Sydney is suddenly thrust back into the family fold when her philanthropist mother passes away unexpectedly. In the wake of her loss, hoping to reconnect with the daughter he loves, Elijah asks Sydney to rejoin his firm to take on a chemical company whose product may cause cancer. She agrees because despite her lingering resentment and distrust, she knows that working alongside her father is her best hope at changing the world...if they can ever get along. No sooner is Sydney back, when she stumbles on a secret Elijah has been keeping from her that may change everything. Soon after, Elijah and daughter Sydney must put personal feelings aside to help a group of farmers who are in danger of losing everything to an insidious corporate scheme. Anthony and Jake team up to take on a seemingly light-hearted case about a stolen barbecue sauce recipe that actually would have a deeper impact on the city than anyone knows.
