TV show description:
Sexy, strong, and talented, Dr. Dani Santino (Callie Thorne) is a Long Island psychotherapist whose comfortable suburban life is turned upside down by a messy divorce. Her husband basically packs his bags and leaves her alone with their two teenage kids. Though initially wary about what her future will hold, Dani finds herself going from devoted wife to in-demand therapist as word gets out about her tough love counseling skills. High-profile clients start knocking at her door in the hopes that Dr. Dani’s take-no-prisoners counseling approach will help them overcome their crises. Dani’s clients constantly keep her on her toes — as do her two kids.
A former college hoops player, Matt (Marc Blucas) is a trainer that’s devoted to his football team, protective of his players, and undeniably attracted to Dani. After a one-night stand and morning-after therapy session with her, Matt manages to finally quit smoking — and is so impressed with Dr. Dani’s skills that he persuades the New York Hawks head coach to bring her in to work with the players. But though the sparks between the two are obvious, Matt and Dani are both professionals with strong ethics, and now that they’re coworkers they’re going to have to find a way to keep their feelings in check.
An enigmatic employee of the Hawks, Nico (Scott Cohen) is a professional problem-solver with a whole lot of tricks up his sleeve and no problem getting his hands dirty. He has a tendency to turn up unannounced with emergency assignments for Dani, and a maddening habit of never taking no for an answer. Nico’s methods can sometimes be questionable but there’s no denying that he manages to get things done.
Terrence “TK” King (Mehcad Brooks) is the New York Hawks’ star wide receiver —- and his coach’s biggest headache. Though a gifted player, TK is wild, confrontational, charismatic, and stubborn. He’s also a loose cannon, with a violent temper, serious authority issues, and a nasty habit of dropping the ball. When his off-the-field antics grow out of control, TK is sent to Dr. Dani to work through his issues, and with her help manages to make some positive steps (like remembering how to hold on to a football again). They still have a long way to go however and just as she puts out one fire, another one is ready to ignite.
