DESCRIPTION:
(from CBS's press release) CLOSE TO HOME is a legal drama that tears away the facade of suburbia to reveal that sometimes quiet and tranquil streets can hide the darkest of crimes. Annabeth Chase is a young, aggressive prosecutor with a near perfect conviction record who tries the cases that take place in her own backyard. Returning to work four months after her husband was killed by a drunk driver, Annabeth is ready to take on the most difficult cases, fueled by her passion to protect her community and infant daughter. Working with Annabeth is her boss, Maureen Scofield, a no-nonsense lawyer who's not afraid to push her hard. Their new boss, Assistant District Attorney James Conlon, handsome, self-assured and ambitious, is just in from New York City and ready to make his mark. Tough, straight-forward investigator Ed Williams and Ray Blackwell, Conlon's edgy, smart guy from New York, round out the team. Newly widowed, Annabeth now faces the challenges of being a working single mother while fighting crime.
