Plot Synopsis

The second installment in the Hallmark "Darrow & Darrow" TV movie franchise. A lot has changed for ace litigator Claire Darrow in the month since her glamorous, semi-estranged mother Joanna unexpectedly waltzed into the small-town law firm that bears the family name. The three generations of Darrow women, Joanna, Claire and Claire's daughter Lou, are now living under the same roof, enjoying relative harmony. Claire has also made room for her mother, a corporate lawyer, to return to the firm as a consulting attorney. And, thanks in no small part to Joanna's prodding; she has begun dating Miles Strasberg, the charming Distract Attorney. What hasn't changed is her unwavering dedication to truth and her commitment to the public good. That philosophy that has guided her stewardship of Darrow & Darrow and is one she expects everyone at the firm to share, including her decidedly profit-driven mother. With Joanna lobbying to handle a case on her own she puts her mother to the test with her first assignment: representing a client free of charge in a dispute involving his young granddaughter, a lemonade stand and a neighbor. Meanwhile, Claire has offered to help out Miles' half-sister, Phoebe, a talented young singer who may have signed away ownership of her album to its producer. But before Claire has a chance to review the contract, Phoebe is arrested his murder. Though Claire has never tried a murder case before, Miles doesn't want to entrust his sibling's fate to anyone else. As the evidence against Phoebe piles up, Claire and Miles work together to get to the bottom of the producer's killing and save the only immediate family Miles has.
