Bum Rap

Miami defense attorney Jake Lassiter has seen enough of the justice system's dark corners to be thoroughly cynical about it, but when his colleague Victoria Lord calls with an urgent plea, he can't walk away. Her law partner, the man she loves, has been arrested for murder, and the only witness who can clear him has vanished somewhere in the city's underworld, hunted by the Russian mob and coveted by federal agents. Jake and Victoria have days, possibly hours, to find her before she disappears permanently.

Peter Berkrot voices Lassiter with the gruff practicality of a man who's made peace with moral ambiguity, giving the character's football-player bluntness a wry, self-aware humor. His Miami feels lived-in and slightly seedy in the best way, and the procedural chase moves at a crisp pace that suits the lean thriller format. The narration captures the series' signature blend of legal maneuvering and physical confrontation without losing sight of Lassiter's sardonic charm.
