Eighteen years ago, Rose fled an arranged marriage to Charlie. She built a new life as a lawyer and raised her son, Damian, without ever telling Charlie he was a father.
Now Rose is back to take on a high-profile criminal case, and the defendant is Charlie. Seeing Rose with Damian, he jumps to the wrong conclusion and mistakes her son for her much younger lover, which sets up some of the series' sharpest and most painful moments.
Janice works to drive them apart, but a staged car crash finally forces the truth into the open. Father and son are united in a fight for justice, and everything builds toward Charlie's romantic proposal in a church.
