Pat Patton, a 30-year-old prankster-loving new attorney, has learned how to run his office and navigate the justice system to secure the best legal outcome for his clients. His case load has grown as well as his feelings for Asst. DA Shirley O'Kelly. They had to outrun a psychopath who was hell-bent on killing them. Now the unsuspecting lawyer is the target of another dangerous criminal, who has sworn that death is too lame a payback for the death of his brother. More educated and a more vicious psychopath than brother Skinny, Jeffie plots to really get Pat and Shirley as Pat juggles two major cases: one, a motion before a judge to exonerate a man who has wrongfully served 26 years of a life sentence; the second, a trial in which Pat defends a woman for running dope from Jamaica to the Atlanta Airport. Pat feels like a volley ball as he handles more and often humorous cases while being interrupted by terrifying, life-threatening events. Pat and Shirley find relief only when they join family, old and new friends, who rally around to help them.
