James Conlon (Elliott), to swiftly bring the killers to justice,
Annabeth must employ new tactics to draw out a confession. Meanwhile,

Conlon's right hand man from New York, two new detectives assigned
to work in the D.A.'s office.
CLOSE TO HOME is a legal drama that tears away the facade of
suburbia to reveal that sometimes quiet and tranquil streets
can hide the darkest of crimes. Annabeth Chase is a young, aggressive
prosecutor with a near perfect conviction record who tries the
cases that take place in her own backyard. Returning to work
four months after her husband was killed by a drunk driver, Annabeth
is ready to take on the most difficult cases, fueled by her passion
to protect her community and infant daughter. Working with Annabeth
is her boss, Maureen Scofield, a no-nonsense lawyer who's not
afraid to push her hard. Their new boss, ADA James Conlon, handsome,
self-assured, and ambitious is just in from New York City and
ready to make his mark. Tough, straight-forward investigator
Ed Williams and Ray Blackwell, Conlon's edgy, smart guy from
New York, round out the team. Newly widowed, Annabeth now faces
the new challenges of being a working single mother while fighting
crime.
