Take a trip to Tennessee tonight, without ever leaving your couch, with the premiere of “Bluff City Law,” NBC’s newest legal series.

“Coming from a famous Memphis family known for taking on injustice, brilliant lawyer Sydney Strait used to work at her father Elijah’s celebrated law firm until their tumultuous relationship got in the way,” the synopsis reveals of the NBC show. “After barely speaking to him for years, Sydney is suddenly thrust back into the family fold when her philanthropist mother passes away unexpectedly.”

Sydney and Elijah will have to learn to work together again if they’re going to do right by their clients, but it won’t be easy for either of them. All of the drama — both family and legal — begins when the series premieres Monday night.
