After a nervous breakdown, attorney Jason Payne spends some time at a wellness center. His life is in shambles upon his release. He is then teamed up by his doctor with wild card Shultz as a therapy partner. When Jason learns he can't live the life he previously had after he's fired by his firm and his wife refuses to take him back, Jason and Shultz come together on two separate cases and then decide to make the partnership more lasting.
Shultz and Payne take the case of an environmentalist who is accused of torching his stepfather's car dealership and, like Shultz, battles explosive disorder. Adding manpower to their company, Shultz recruits a paralegal disbarred for bank robbery and Payne seeks help from Nicole.
