Robyn McCall uses skills from a secretive former career to help people who have run out of conventional ways to seek justice. Her work puts her in danger while she tries to remain present for her teenage daughter and the household they share with Aunt Vi. Vi brings care, perspective and a life that extends beyond her role in Robyn's family. Her rekindled relationship with Trish becomes a developed strand in the third and fourth seasons, adding romantic questions to the demands of keeping loved ones safe. The action procedural combines individual cases with a continuing family story about trust, privacy and how much people can ask one another to understand.
