Person
Attorney Matt Archer's life is a train wreck. His latest client is a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang caught red-handed smuggling marijuana across the Canadian border. His marriage is in shambles because of an affair he had with a beautiful state legislator.
Matt can't seem to find a way to get a break for his client the biker, has to find his way through the legislative thicket in his home state, and most importantly wants to repair his marriage so he can be the dad he wants to be for his precocious ten-year old daughter. Throw in a pot-smoking local judge.
Matt's a likable guy and means well, but he has some growing up to do. Welcome to a humorous tale of small-town politics.
