After botching a real estate deal for his father’s corporate law firm, Alex Sanchez is sent to the eclectic immigration practice of Merced & Merced in the South Bronx to do pro-bono work as penance. In this new office, Alex challenges his ideas of justice, uncovers truths about his father’s corporate dealings, and tries to stave off a mid-life crisis as a thirtysomething gay man in New York City.
