Joe was a successful partner at a large Tampa law firm handling complex legal matters who had everything until his now ex-wife decided she wanted more. Now Joe finds himself marking time by assisting a small law practice in the retirement community of Sunset City while awaiting the expiration of his noncompete. Joe had no idea that his focus would be forever changed by the many eccentric clients and community members that have challenged Joe's sanity and intellect as they place him in zany and off-the-wall situations.
Joe is pulled into a murder mystery when he's asked to help exonerate Lewis Sypher, who is accused of murdering Sandy Clause, the owner of Shady Acres Mobile Home Park. In addition to proving his client's innocence and trying to help capture the real killer, Joe must try to help prevent the eviction of the many elderly residents of Shady Acres by Sandy Clause's heirs, who intend to sell the park to developers. Joe reluctantly turns to both his old and new contacts for help, which are highlighted by the Justice Gang, a diverse group of elderly gentlemen who take a humorous and aggressive approach to solving problems within the community. Joe also finds himself in a love triangle between the sexy and promiscuous police officer Melanie and the beautiful and grounded paralegal Jill, which presents Joe with unfamiliar choices, causing him to reflect upon what is really important in developing both his career and personal life.
