Ted is surrounded by a stellar group of characters who test their loyalties to both Ted and each other while they can’t help but mix their personal and professional lives. All of this is going on while events from years ago slowly unravel that led Ted to leave behind everything and everyone he loved,” reads the official synopsis of the series.

McDermitt’s character is of the self-centred, powerful and ambitious co-founder of Black Lane Law, named Stuart Lane.
