Criminal defense attorney Keegan Deane's personal shortcomings get him in one professional pickle after another in this comedy-drama, which begins with a serial killer's confession that may or may not be the work of the Los Angeles police chief. Meanwhile, a client remunerates Keegan with an expensive fish, but he needs to collect the money from a sushi restaurant so he can pay his bookie part of his gambling debt.

A death in Ben's family forces him to ask Keegan to take over a case in which the mayor's chief economic adviser is accused of murdering—and eating—a young accountant. Meanwhile, Mikki makes a decision about her career.
