A man was talking at the phone when a fat woman bump into him coughing incessantly. He looked up, noticing an apartment set on fire and called 999 right away. When firemen got in, they came across a teenage dead body, burnt to Death. The grieving mother moved to her aunt, an old woman in wheelchair, together with her other child. Detectives start investigation from different angles: the store below the flat (a bodega owned by an Indian guy who may have needed money from insurance policy), two young brat get used to teasing the family and the ex-husband who had to pay high alimony. But none of them are related to the arson. Meanwhile it turned up that the mother is suffering from depression due to his son's illness, a degenerative disease that let his brain go backward. With a defense attorney like the one she appointed, it's a piece of cake for Steel and Phillips to prosecute, but nothing is lost till the trial ending.
The rookie defense attorney (Oliver Dimsdale) is a real dumb. I've never seen a lawyer like him: every statements are easy to be rebutted, he is unable to take a plea and the expert witness seems to come from a talk-show.
