About the show: "Race begins as a crime mystery, as two high-profile lawyers—Henry (Geoffrey Owens Geoffrey Owens) who is black, and Jack (Marc Grapey Marc Grapey) who is white—are called to defend a wealthy white client Charles (Patrick Clear Patrick Clear) who is charged with the rape of an African American woman. The client admits that he was intimate with his accuser but vehemently denies the charges of rape, insisting that the sex was consensual and that he and the woman were in love. As the two lawyers mull over the potential pitfalls in accepting the case, they enlist the help of their new associate, Susan (Tamberla Perry Tamberla Perry), a young Ivy-League educated black attorney. In the lawyers’ struggle to find the truth, their own prejudices are exposed, and they quickly discover that present-day racial and gender politics are as complex as the case in front of them."
