Plots(1)
John Thaw is masterful and feisty British barrister, James Kavanagh, a top member of Queen's Counsel, in this powerful courtroom drama series. Fundamental to his success in court is Kavanagh's fierce desire for justice as he ferrets out the truth with rapier-like prowess, making even the stalwart criminal buckle. However, professional triumphs have a way of aggravating Kavanagh's personal inadequacies at home and challenge his teetering balancing act between family and the pursuit of justice.
