Guilt ridden after a failed marriage and trying to make
things up to her daughter, Christina Jones joins a small-
town law practice, hoping a fresh start will put her
career and their life back on track....
The Punishment
Saying no to personal entanglements is a big part of her
self-imposed sentence, especially since her marriage went
so wrong. Although she's tempted when a volunteer fireman
saves her from what might have been a very embarrassing
scene in front of the whole town....
His Appeal
But the volunteer firefighter, Bruce Lancaster, is
actually the lawyer she'll be working with — and judging
by the evidence, he thinks her punishment is too severe.
Now he's on the case himself — and he makes very
persuasive counsel for the defense!
