The story of the second season will follow Leila (Brosnahan), an ambitious defence lawyer, who takes on a high profile case. Her husband, played by Matthew Rhys is the prosecutor on the case. Jack Reynor plays Leila's client, the defendant. Courtney B Vance and Fiona Shaw play partners of the law firm where Leila works. Shaw's character will also be Leila's second chair on the case.
