Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) is a wife and mother who boldly assumes full responsibility for her family and re-enters the workforce after her husband’s very public sex and political corruption scandal lands him in jail. Pushing aside the betrayal and crushing public humiliation caused by her husband – Peter (Chris Noth). Alicia starts over by pursuing her original career as a defence attorney, as a junior associate at a prestigious Chicago law firm; she joins her long-time friend, former law school classmate and firm partner Will Gardner (Josh Charles), who is interested in rekindling their former relationship. Alicia transforms herself from embarrassed politician’s scorned wife to resilient career woman, especially for the sake of providing a stable home for her children, 14-year-old Zach and 13-year-old Grace. Alicia finds an ally and a friend in Kalinda, the firm’s tough and mysterious in-house investigator; that is until she discovers she betrayed her as well.
