Synopsis/Details
(Pilot) Dorothy West is a social worker who will do anything to help those in need. She isn't above playing dirty to see those to justice. Dorothy also has a hidden past that her new job and town can't quit figure out. She has ties to the political field with a family member, whom she has distanced herself from, currently serving in office. Dorothy will use this to go after those who think they're untouchable or have too much money and power to answer to the same rules. Her assistant provides a comic relief along with Dorothy's witty banter.
She is new in town and immediately goes to work on a trucker and his girlfriend who have managed to fatally kill a young boy. The mother is definitely out of her mind on drugs and the boyfriend is acting shady. Things get heavy and Dorothy takes matters into her own hands to bring the the man to justice.
