Skipping out early from her own bachelorette party, solicitor Tara Rafferty is shocked to find her fiancé and law firm colleague, Eric, in bed with another woman. Brokenhearted, Tara leaves Eric and the firm to build her own practice in the hopes of starting fresh.

Still reeling over the sudden changes in her life, Tara has to deal with a case of a disputed will when a friend threatens to throw her own sister out of the family home after being named sole beneficiary.

Tara is forced to work alongside Eric when they take on a case of apparent bigamy after two women claim to be married to the same dying man and wish to be acknowledged as his next of kin.

Ray asks for Tara’s help when a friend’s son is taken away by Social Services, and Vincent also hires Tara to assist on a case. Growing pressure from her family, former law firm, and Eric make Tara suspect someone is trying to sabotage her.

Tara is left reeling when a shed containing evidence in Vincent's inquiry goes up in flames, she gets evicted from her office, Ray is arrested on trumped up charges, and Meg betrays her trust.

Things intensify as Tara juggles the enquiry while representing a father fighting to gain full custody of his child.
