Sebastian 'the Shark' Stark is L.A.'s hotshot criminal lawyer, who can save even the worst violent scum from conviction by a jury, for an obscene fortune. When wife-beater Gordie Brock he got off is arrested for murdering that same spouse Deena six days later, expecting the Shark to save his bacon again, he finds himself infected with some conscience and stops his profit-driven practice. Now mayor Manuel Delgado seizes his chance to convince Stark to join the underfunded prosecutor's office, which never stood a chance against him, and help justice rather then the rich. District Attorney Jessica 'Jess' Devlin, whom he knows to be far below his class talent-wise, becomes his new boss. He already knows from his private files all the inexperienced by-the-book lawyers he gets assigned as assistants, such as senator Woodland's son Casey, and starts teaching them how to use, even bend the system. Their first case in only 48 hours, is star singer Jenny Dennison, who murdered Terence 'Terry' ... Written by KGF Vissers

A poker game with the mayor gets Shark's team better offices. Detective Joe Rodriguez, LAPD undercover narcotics, is shot; the police still sees Shark as the enemy: this is his chance to change that by getting the cop killer convicted; D.A. Devlin accepts to put Shark on the case in the hope he'll fail. The suspect is Scott Ransom, from a rich family, twice escaped conviction for drug dealing, about to be arrested again with narcotics. His girl-friend is his alibi, his defense lawyer is Shark's best disciple, Elliott Dasher, no loss in years. Rodriguez' partner Isaac Wright witnessed everything except the actual shooting. Martin Allende is too direct when approaching the grieving family about possible character assassination by the defense. Casey Woodland must get forensic data before it is destroyed, while the judge is a noted stickler for search procedures. Ransom is arrested after the find of a bag of speed with his blood on it. Wright carries a grudge because Sharke suggested ... Written by KGF Vissers

Shark's team takes the case against Dr. Mitchell Sterling, a fine surgeon whose wife Yvonne Sterling went missing thirteen days ago, even though the corps isn't found. Casey gets a go as co-chair, as he will look best against the father, but this trial proves everything but a joyride. Their theory was based on Yvonne's blood on a carpet, phone records and Sterling's little boy Ethan's statement he heard his mother but didn't tell anyone because he wasn't supposed to be awake that late, but the kid retracts the statement. When the body is finally found, it doesn't quite match either, however the team does a good job as to establishing a motive, again with a disappointing twist. Shark perseveres, and decides to make the boy testify in court anyhow... Written by KGF Vissers

A couple is found shot dead in the Malibu beach-house of P.I. Harry Russo, who often worked for Shark but has a dodgy reputation with the police- arresting him would assure D.A.

Tracy's colleague at the Cypress hotel, Lisa Gable, tells Casey her abusive husband tried to force her into porn. Russo swears to Shark he knows nothing, telling under pressure the house was rented out to film producer Taylor Garrett, who claims to have 'lost' a $6,000 gun of the murder's caliber .45 and is arrested on his yacht; since that is legally his home and there was no search-warrant, all evidence found there is thrown out. While they both attend her campaign dinner, Devlin asks indignant Casey to spy on Stark in the 'Russo case'. Shark's team goes to trial against Garret, with Russo in a multiple star role...

Accused is Benny Hong, who runs three such shops. When an inspector confirms a list of building code violations, Shark wants to accept five years rather then face a jury, Martin instead accepts immunity to go after Hong's client, worldwide popular teenage fashion label Pruitt, which hires Elliott Dasher, enough to get Shark personally involved, also because CEO Z Pruitt is personally linked to the Mayor, and clever as ever is soon linked with ordering installing the extra machines which caused the fatal overload.
