Jen Dawson is an emergency room physician in San Francisco who thinks she has her life figured out. Tommy Vietti is an experienced detective who is loyal to the force, his Italian family, and his girl, Jen. Amanda Hawthorne is a charismatic District Attorney who prosecutes criminals while fending off attacks from mobsters.

Jen's colleague, Dr. Lane Wallace, becomes a murder suspect in the death of his paramour, the daughter of a Russian billionaire.

When Jen unwittingly becomes a witness in the investigation, she must defend her actions against criticism by Tommy and Amanda. During an argument, Jen and Amanda quickly discover they have more in common than just butting heads. As their relationship takes a surprising turn, Jen's world is thrown into turmoil, forcing her to make a decision that will carry lifelong consequences for the three of them.
