PROVEN INNOCENT follows an underdog criminal defense firm led by MADELINE SCOTT (Rachelle Lefevre, "Under the Dome," "A Gifted Man"). There is no one who understands the power of setting an innocent person free more than Madeline. At age 18, she was wrongfully convicted, along with her brother, LEVI (Riley Smith, "Frequency"), in a sensational murder case that made her an infamous media obsession, a household name and a national cause celebre.
Madeline runs the firm with her partner, EASY BOUDREAU (Russell Hornsby, "Seven Seconds," "Grimm"), the very lawyer who helped set her free after 10 years in prison. Their team also includes investigator BODIE QUICK (Vincent Kartheiser, "Mad Men") and communications director VIOLET PRICE (Tony Award winner Nikki M. James, "BrainDead," "The Good Wife," "The Book of Mormon"), who runs a true-crime podcast that follows each investigation.
While a hero and a victim to some, Madeline's bold and bullish tactics earn her a number of enemies - especially GORE BELLOWS (Emmy Award and Golden Globe winner Kelsey Grammer, "Frasier," "Cheers," "Boss"), the prosecutor who initially put her away and still believes in her guilt. Despite Bellows' ceaseless quest to see her behind bars again, Madeline will continue to defend others, even as she fights to maintain her innocence and searches for the real killer in her own case.
