The series revolves around David Main, an ambitious, high-flying, and unashamedly upwardly mobile solicitor. Having originally come up the hard way in London, Series Two sees Main focusing heavily on building a powerful business empire by expanding back into his home territory of Leeds Amazon UK. Known for his ruthless pragmatism and slick commercial mindset, Main continuously clashes with traditional, old-fashioned legal figures who prefer a gentlemanly approach. As he cultivates partnerships with Yorkshire's wealthy elite, his professional drive places enormous strain on his integrity, his colleagues, and his personal life.
