The plot centers on a Washington, D.C. lawyer who has a dark secret and NBC gave the project a script order with a major penalty. Brian Grazer conceptualized the series and invited Bochco and Milch to be involved and they will write the story together as well as be executive producers. The project is produced by Imagine TV and 20th Century Fox Television. Grazer will also serve as executive producer along with Imagine TV’s Francie Calfo.
