A drama series. From best-selling author John Grisham, the master of the modern legal thriller, comes a new series that picks up 10 years after the events of the 1993 feature film. It finds lawyer Mitch McDeere, who worked with the FBI to bring down a Memphis law firm associated with the Chicago mob, coming out of near total isolation after his family spent a decade in the Federal Witness Protection Program. The McDeeres are ready to return to their old lives and leave the past behind them — but the mob has a long memory. Add that to Mitch’s new association with another firm that may or may not be involved in something illicit, and the path ahead is dangerous and unknown.
Based on the best-selling novel by John Grisham, "The Firm" is a new drama series that continues the story of attorney Mitchell McDeere who, as a young associate 10 years earlier, had brought down the prestigious Memphis law firm of Bendini, Lambert & Locke, which had been operating as a front for the Chicago mob. After a difficult decade, which included a stay in the Federal Witness Protection Program, McDeere and his family now emerge from isolation to reclaim their lives and their future -- only to find that past dangers are still lurking and new threats are everywhere.
