Gabriel Lock is a young lawyer who chooses a forced resignation and leaves the state attorney's office. At his father's civil law firm, he represents industrious, salt of the earth men and women who build honest lives on the other side of Miami Vice. Armed with his smarts, morals, and faith, Gabriel battles for his clientele. As his practice develops, he learns that his duties to his clients, and the search for truth are often at odds. He discovers that justice is more than black or white, and results not only affect his clients' lives, but his own.

The year is 1981 and his adventure is about to begin.
