Jarod "Tally", an IRS auditor, infiltrates a corrupt law firm whose head of security has been killing people to protect the company's key client. When Jarod exposes the truth, a family that has been shattered by the firm's murderous practice is able to pick up the pieces and be together again.

Peter Hale, an attorney at Hoyt and Associates, inadvertently learns that Craig Winston, the head of security, murdered the state's key witness against one of the firm's major clients. When Winston learns that Hale has turned evidence over to FBI Agent Matthew Ashley, he murders the agent as well.

To protect his family, Hale estranges himself from them, then fakes his death by leaving a suicide note and blowing up his boat. To keep Hale's teenage son, Dylan, out of the hands of social services while arrangements are being made for his mother to fly back from London, Jarod arranges for the boy to stay in a spare room, over Rita Hartunian's corner store. Thinking that Jarod is working for the law firm and that he has kidnapped Dylan, Peter begins following him.

When Jarod finally reunites Peter and Dylan Hale, they all plan and execute a sting that gets Craig Winston's confession on tape. Winston and the head of the firm, Edgar Hoyt, end up in jail. Mrs. Hale returns from London, and the entire Hale family is together again.

Miss Parker turns in her gun and tells her father that she intends to leave The Centre to start a new life with Thomas Gates. After initially refusing to accept her decision, Mr. Parker has second thoughts and, during a late night visit that he and Lyle make to her home, gives Miss Parker his blessing. However, after Lyle and Mr. Parker leave, she discovers that her gun is sitting on an end table in her living room.

Jarod learns about lottery scratcher tickets.
