When a big mistake leaves an altruistic law-school grad desperate for a job, he must descend, like Dante, into the Inferno: a uniquely unethical firm of divorce lawyers. In this black comedy, the main character’s fundamental resolve to do the right thing collides with the tragicomic absurdity of corrupt or incompetent attorneys, damaged, unbalanced clients, and a catastrophically broken family-law system. Pilot Synopsis: Tommy Laudadio, an altruistic law-school grad paying a steep price for a big mistake, is beyond desperate for a job. At an interview with a divorce firm he observes the owner and his henchman bullying and cheating clients; while trying to help the clients Tommy comes face to face with tragicomic absurdity of the entire family-law system. This might be Tommy’s last chance to save his future-but it’s clear he will have to sacrifice every principle he lives by if he wants to grab it.
