FAMILY LAW synopsis

Like a Chinese-American version of "The Sopranos", FAMILY LAW is about a dynasty - the Lau family - in southern California's San Gabriel Valley. The "SGV" is home to the best Chinese restaurants in America and more Chinese people than any other part of "Gold Mountain" (the Chinese word for America).  Patriarch Kingston Lau has built his empire through hard work and an utter disregard for the law. His over-achieving daugher, Lucy Lau, is a family law attorney, striving to stay on the straight-and-narrow.  But when her family's lives are threatened - because of the very business they have built - she must risk her ethics to delve deep into the dynasty to save them. But at what cost to her?
