Following a tumultuous experience at Kirk & McGee, Nick returns to Fallin & Assoc. just as Burton begins investigating the case of Susan Newberg, the deceased daughter of their longtime client and family friend, Frank Newberg.

In a desperate move to safeguard Frank's youngest daughter and victim, a 16-year-old, Nick and Burton jeopardize their legal licenses and freedom by breaching attorney-client privilege.
