The Defenders Season 1
Deux brillants mais arrogants avocats de Las Vegas vont aussi loin qu'ils le peuvent pour défendre leurs clients. A la tête de leur propre cabinet, Nick Morelli et Pete Kaczmarek ont une clientèle très éclectique, attirée par l'appât du gain. Si Nick est un défenseur consciencieux traitant toutes les affaires - petites ou grandes - de façon égale, Pete, son partenaire, est davantage motivé par son amour pour les voitures de sport, les belles femmes et les vêtements de haute-couture. Le duo est rejoint par une nouvelle associée, Lisa Tyler, au passé peu glorieux. Et enfin, l'ingénue Zoe, la jeune assistante prête à tout pour plaire à ses patrons, complète le tableau de la firme Morelli & Kaczmarek. Alors que la chance semble leur sourire professionnellement parlant, les deux hommes sont accaparés par leurs vies personnelles. Pendant que Pete enchaîne les conquêtes, Nick tente de sauver son mariage et se montrer le plus présent possible dans la vie de son fils. Mais peu importe les tracas, quand les enjeux sont importants, les deux avocats sont prêts à parier la maison de leurs clients pour atteindre leur but. Bienvenue dans la ville du péché...
