Once a powerful lawyer, Billy McBride is now burned out and washed up, spending more time in a bar than a courtroom. When he reluctantly agrees to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the biggest client of Cooperman & McBride, the massive law firm he helped create, Billy and his ragtag team uncover a vast and deadly conspiracy, pitting them all in a life or death trial against the ultimate Goliath.
S02: Billy McBride returns to criminal defense, taking on a grisly double murder case. His client is a 16-year-old boy, and Billy's damn sure he's innocent. Billy, Patty, and the team fervently build their case in the seedy underworld of Los Angeles. As the murders' true culprits come to light, the implications reach as far as the mayoral race - and the city's preeminent billionaire developer.
S03: The unexpected death of an old friend leads Billy McBride to take a case in the drought-stricken Central Valley where he comes face-to-face with a new Goliath: a billionaire farmer and his sister and their scheme to steal California’s most valuable resource – water. As Billy and his team pursue the truth, old enemies and personal demons resurface forcing him to confront his own mortality.
S04: Billy returns to his Big Law roots after Patty takes a job at a prestigious white-shoe law firm in San Francisco. Together, they try to take down one of America's most insidious Goliaths: the opioid industry. As Billy deals with his own chronic pain and Patty can't shake the feeling she's being used, their loyalties will be tested, putting their partnership on the line. In a world where money can buy anything, even justice, they'll have to risk everything to do what's right.
