Sinopsis

Ingrid DiLaurio lives in Riversedge, New York, four express train stops from Manhattan. DonâÇÖt be fooled: With its tree-lined Main Street, and quaint ambiance, Riversedge is only impersonating a small town. While itâÇÖs a place small enough for everyone to know each otherâÇÖs secrets, few do. The town revolves around the prestigious Riversedge Law Club, where deals are made and cases are resolved and where Ingrid DiLaurio -- a former lawyer turned nationally recognized podcast host - has never once been made to feel welcome.áWhen IngridâÇÖs husband, Peter, is found dead, and IngridâÇÖs former friend, Opal, is arrested as the prime suspect, the press quickly seizes on OpalâÇÖs past as a single mom and stripper. IngridâÇÖs first priority is protecting herself and her son, Drake, along with her business, from salacious gossip. But when Opal finds herself in desperate need of a defense lawyer, she tells Ingrid she wants to call in a 'favor,' and Ingrid reluctantly returns to the law for one last case.As the trial unfolds, Ingrid realizes quickly that she has taken on more than sheábargained for, including OpalâÇÖs dark past, a corrupt judge, a blackmailing prosecutor, another dead body, and a black tinted car that follows her everywhere. In the end, itâÇÖs clear that both women know more than they are letting on about PeterâÇÖs death, but who will tell the truth first?áAnd is the truth what anyone really wants to hear?
