In the pilot episode, David Metcalf is a driven attorney who has worked his way to the top of a big law firm and has started to believe that he did it all himself. He is so driven that he leaves his beautiful home one fateful morning just before his wife has a second to tell him that she’s pregnant. Audrey decides David doesn’t have time for her anymore and starts packing to leave.

Driving to work while talking on his cell phone, David runs a small truck off the road. When the other driver catches up to him, David yells at him through the window that he is at fault because he didn’t pay attention to the yield sign. As a good lawyer, David gets the other driver’s address. When David gets to work, he encounters the shock of his life. The law firm is downsizing. Even though he is a partner, David is let go.
